Conical Frustum Surface Area Calculator

Introducing a geometry calculator for calculating the surface area of conical frustums. Are you looking for a calculator to find the surface area of a conical frustum? The answer is here. Here is an online conical frustum surface area calculator that finds the area of a conical frustum. We also show you the formula for calculating the surface area of conical frustums with example.

Conical frustum surface area formula

The surface area of a conical frustum can be obtained with the conical frustum surface area formula below:

A = (π * r2) + (π * R2) + {π * (r + R) * √[(R - r)2 + h2]}

• r: radius of the top surface
• R: radius of the bottom surface
• h: height of the conical frustum

Example of how to calculate the surface area of a conical frustum

We now have the formula to calculate the surface area of a conical frustum. Let’s solve an example problem with that.

For a conical frustum with the top radius r = 3 cm, bottom radius R = 4 cm and the height h = 5 cm, we can calculate its surface area like so:

• A = (π * r2) + (π * R2) + {π * (r + R) * √[(R - r)2 + h2]}
• A = (π * 32) + (π * 42) + {π * (3 + 4) * √[(4 - 3)2 + 52]} = 190.67 cm2
