Frustum Calculator

A Frustum is a three-dimensional geometric shape which resembles a cone with the top cut off.

The top and base diameters are parallel and on the centre of axis.

The Frustram Calculator uses the following Math Formula

Slope Height of a Frustrum Formula

s = √( (r2 - r1)²+h²)

Surface area of the top of a Frustrum Formula

T = πr1²

Surface area of the base of a Frustrum Formula

B = πr2²

Lateral surface area of a Frustrum Formula

L = π x (r1 + r2) x s

Total area of a Frustrum Formula

a = T + B + L

Volume of a Frustrum Formula

V = (1/3) x π x h x (r1² + r2² + (r1 * r2) )

Where:

h: The vertical height of the frustum
s: The length of the sloped side
d1: Diameter of the top, equal to twice the top radius
d2: Diameter of the base, equal to twice the base radius
r1: Radius of the top of the frustum, equal to half the top diameter
r2: Radius of the base, equal to half the base diameter
T: Surface area of the top in square units
L: The Lateral surface area in square units
B: Surface area of the circular base in square units
A: A Total surface area in square units
V: The volume of the frustum in cubic units
