Calculation of surface area
Instructions for use: enter the known values, then press the button “Calculate”. As a result, the area will be calculated taking into account the specified data.
Note: the radius of the base is involved in the calculations. If the diameter is initially given, it should be divided by 2, because d = 2R.
Calculation formulas
Base:
Smain = π ⋅ R2
Side surface:
Sside = 2 ⋅ π ⋅ R ⋅ h
Full surface:
Sfull = 2 ⋅ Smain + Sside = 2 ⋅ π ⋅ R ⋅ (h + R)
