Geometry Formulas
I was just curious, what is the formula for the surface area and volume,
and respectively, for a pyramidal frustum and a conical frustum? I would prefer you to put it in LaTeX so I can easily understand it. Thanks!Note: later I may ask for other formulas, so don't put away your brain when you're done!

Oops, I almost forgot; I would also like a picture showing where the demensions are. Thanks...again!

Hi;
For a right pyramidal frustum:

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Geometry Formulas
Thanks!
I do want to ask though, is a right frustum just a straight, generic one? Or is it one that is tilted?
Also, I checked out the link, and it seems that the full surface area (as in, the whole surface of it including bases) is:
Am I right? I am kind of confused. The volume formula though, is easy for me to understand.

Hi;
It is much better to write it like this:

Re: Geometry Formulas
Sorry I wrote that wrong.
Thanks, again; I think I now understand it. (:

Re: Geometry Formulas
Next geometry question I've been wondering:
What is the perimeter
I was thinking it was where is the larger radius, but what about the inner part?
Is that included in the formla, or is it just the 'strict' outside?

Hi;
The perimeter of an annulus is the sum of the perimeter of the two circles, interior and exterior.

Re: Geometry Formulas
6 more (these might be tougher than before):
1. A & P of a Lune of Hippocrates.
2. V & S of spherical cap.
3. V & S of a spherical sector.
4. V & S of a spherical segment.
5. V & S of a spherical shell.
6. V & S of a spherical wedge.
Where V = volume, S = surface area, A = area, P = perimeter.
