Below are the standard formulas for a conical
frustum. Calculations are based on algebraic
manipulation of these standard formulas.

Conical Frustum Formulas in terms of r

and h:
Slant height of a conical frustum:
s = √((r1 - r2)2 + h2)
Volume of a conical frustum:
V = (1/3) * π * h * (r12 + r22 + (r1 * r2))
Lateral surface area of a conical frustum:
S = π * (r1 + r2) * s = π * (r1 + r2) * √((r1 - r2)2 + h2)
Top surface area of a conical frustum (a circle):
T = πr12
Base surface area of a conical frustum (a circle):
B = πr22
Total surface area of a conical frustum:
A = π * (r12 + r22 + (r1 + r2) * s) = π * [ r12 + r22 + (r1 + r2) * √((r1 - r2)2 + h2) ]

Conical Frustum Calculations:

Use the following additional formulas along with the formulas above.

Given radius1, radius2 and height calculate the slant height, volume, lateral surface area
and total surface area.
Given r1, r2, h find s, V, S, A
use the formulas above
Given radius1, radius2 and slant height calculate the height, volume, lateral surface area
and total surface area.
Given r1, r2, s find h, V, S, A
h = √(s2 - (r1 - r2)2)
Given radius1, radius2 and volume calculate the height, slant height, lateral surface area
and total surface area.
Given r1, r2, V find h, s, S, A
h = (3 * V) / (π * (r12 + r22 + (r1 * r2)))
Given radius1, radius2 and lateral surface area calculate the height, slant height, volume
and total surface area.
Given r1, r2, S find h, s, V, A
s = S / (π * (r1 + r2))
h = √(s2 - (r1 - r2)2)
Given radius1, radius2 and total surface area calculate the height, slant height, volume and
lateral surface area.
Given r1, r2, A find h, s, V, S
s = [A/π - r12 - r22] / (r1 + r2)
h = √(s2 - (r1 - r2)2)

Calculate Cone Shape from the Conical Frustum

You can calculate the full volume of the cone, and other properties, using the ASS and ASA
triangle theorems.
