Spherical cap is the section of a sphere detached by a plane. This tutorial explains you how to calculate the Volume, Lateral and Total Surface Area of a plane.
If the height of a plane is 4 meter and radius is 3 , then find the Volume, lateral and total surface area of a plane.
Volume, lateral and total surface area of the plane
Substitute the given values in the formula to find the volume,
| Volume | =3.14*4*4*(3-4/3) |
| =3.14*16*(3-4/3) | |
| =83.73 Meter3 |
Substitute the given values in the formula to find the lateral surface area,
| Lateral surface area | =2*3.14*3*4 |
| =2*37.68 | |
| =75.36 Meter2 |
Substitute the given values in the formula to find the total surface area,
| Circumference | =2(sqr(4*(2*3-4)))=2(sqr(8))=5.64 |
| Total surface area | =2*3.14((5.64*5.64)+(2*4*4)) |
| =2*3.14(63.8) | |
| =401.92 Meter2 |
