Oblique Cylinder

  • oblique cylinder 1Oblique cylinder (a three-dimensional figure) has both bases not alligned above each other and the center not at 90° to the other base center.
  • 2 bases

 

Height of a Oblique Cylinder formula

\( h \;=\;  l \cdot sin(x)  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( x \) = angle \( deg \) \( rad \)
\( l \) = length \( in \) \( mm \)

 

Lateral surface area of a Oblique Cylinder formula

\( A_l \;=\;  2 \cdot \pi \cdot r \cdot l  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( A_l \) = lateral surface area (side) \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\(\ l \) = length \( in \) \( mm \)
\( \pi \) = Pi  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)
\( r \) = radius \( in \) \( mm \)

 

Surface area of a Oblique Cylinder formula

\( A_s \;=\;  l + 2 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( A_s \) = surface area (bottom, top, side) \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( l \) = length \( in \) \( mm \)
\( \pi \) = Pi  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)
\( r \) = radius \( in \) \( mm \)

 

Volume of a Oblique cylinder formula

\( V \;=\;  \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( \pi \) = Pi  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)  \(3.141 592 653 ...\)
\( r \) = radius \( in \) \( mm \)
