Lateral Surface Area of a Right Elliptic Cylinder formula
\( A_l \approx  h \;  \left(     2\;\pi \;\sqrt {\; \frac{1}{2}\; \left(a^2 + b^2 \right) }   \right)   \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( A_l \) = approximate lateral surface area (side)	\( in^2 \)	\( mm^2 \)
\( a \) = length semi-major axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( b \) = length semi-minor axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( h \) = height	\( in \)	\( mm \)

 

Surface Area of a Right Elliptic Cylinder formula
\( A_s \approx  h \;  \left(     2\;\pi \;\sqrt {\; \frac{1}{2}\; \left(a^2 + b^2 \right) }   \right) +  2\; \left( \pi \; a \; b \right)  \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( A_s \) = approximate surface area (bottom, top, side)	\( in^2 \)	\( mm^2 \)
\( a \) = length semi-major axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( b \) = length semi-minor axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( h \) = height	\( in \)	\( mm \)

 

Volume of a Right Elliptic Cylinder formula
\( V = \pi\; a \;b\; h \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( V \) = volume	\( in^3 \)	\( mm^3 \)
\( a \) = length semi-major axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( b \) = length semi-minor axis	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( h \) = height	\( in \)	\( mm \)
