Best Answer

V=1/3*pi*(R12+R1*R2+R22)*h

V = volume

pi = 3.142

R1 = Radius of the base

R2 = Radius of the top

h = height of the truncated cone

by my algebra, same as:

V=1/2*pi*(R12+R22)*h

The alternative algebra is not correct. Using the same positive values for R1 and R2 and the answers are not equivalent. The formula at the top matches Wikpedia and other sources on the web.

If d1 and d2 are the cone diameters and l is the length along the side, then the development is a sector with 2 radii; r1 and r2 over an angle that I'll call P (cos I don't see any variable letters).

The difference between r1 and r2 will be l, the length

The angle of the sector in degrees: P = 360(d2-d1)/(2l)

and r1 = (360 x d1)/(2 x P)

and r2 = r1 + l

Formula for calculating volume of truncated hollow cone?

A hollow truncated cone is a geometric shape that is cone-shaped. The formula to calculate the volume is s^2=h^2 + (R-r)^2.


What is the formula for calculating development surface are of truncated cone?

The formula for calculating development surface area of a truncated cone is Avr = π [s (R + r) + R^2 + r^2]. The solution is area (A) subscript r where r is the radius of the top of the truncated cone. In this formula R stands for the radius of the bottom of the cone and s represents the slant height of the cone.

What is the formula of area of cone?

The volume of a cone is one third the volume of a cylinder of the same height. The volume of a cylinder is πr2h, so the volume of a cone is 1/3πr2h.
