About this calculator

This calculator finds a cone's slant height using the Pythagorean relation l = √(r² + h²), then computes lateral surface area as π·r·l and total surface area as π·r·(r + l) — the lateral term unrolls the cone's curved side into a flat circular sector, while adding π·r² accounts for the circular base.

Geometry students solving surface-area problems, engineers and sheet-metal fabricators calculating material needed for conical parts like funnels, chutes, or roof caps, and hobbyists figuring out paper or fabric needed for a cone-shaped craft (party hats, lampshades) use this. Enter the radius and height to get the slant height, lateral area, and total surface area.
