Spherical Cap Surface Area Calculator
Enter any two of base radius (r), ball radius (R) or cap height (h). The third is derived from r² = h(2R − h). Output: SA = 2πRh + πr² (curved surface plus…
What this calculator does
Computes the surface area of a spherical cap from its dimensions, using the formula SA = 2πRh + πr². Supports all common length units on input and any area unit on output, with a worked breakdown.
