Formulas for the pointed pillar


Base area (\(\small{A}\))

\(\displaystyle A = a^2·π \)

Lateral area (\(\small{L}\))

\(\displaystyle L= \left[(a + b) · \sqrt{(a - b)^2 + i^2} + b · \sqrt{j^2 + b^2} \right] · π \)

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S = A+L \)

Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{π}{3} · \left[ i · (a^2 + ab + b^2 ) + b^2 · j \right] \)
