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 \( in \) \( mm \)
