Cone Total Surface Area

How to use this calculator

1. Enter radius in cm.
2. Enter vertical height in cm.
3. Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.

Before you use the answer

Start with a dimensioned sketch and label the units beside every measurement. Distinguish the outer edge from an internal opening, and distinguish a radius from a diameter. A geometric model is most useful when the shape actually matches the assumptions in the formula.

The base is included. For an open cone, subtract the disk area.

Why might a result be approximate?

Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
