How to Use the Calculator

To use the basic calculator, enter the Dome Radius (m) and Dome Height (m) into the calculator. This will allow you to calculate the Dome Surface Area (m²). For example, if you input a radius of 5 meters and a height of 3 meters, the calculator will provide the surface area.

For the advanced calculator, input the Dome Radius (m), Dome Height (m), Material Thickness (m), and Material Density (kg/m³). This will help you determine the Dome Weight (kg). For instance, if you enter a radius of 5 meters, height of 3 meters, thickness of 0.1 meters, and density of 2500 kg/m³, it will calculate the weight of the dome.

Formula

The formula for calculating the dome surface area is:

$DSA=2\times \pi \times r\times h$

Variables

Variable	Description
$DSA$	Dome Surface Area (m²)
$r$	Dome Radius (m)
$h$	Dome Height (m)

How To calculate Dome Surface Area

Example 1

Inputs:

• Radius (
  $r$

  ): 5 m

• Height (
  $h$

  ): 3 m

Calculation

1. Use the formula:

$DSA=2\times \pi \times r\times h$

2. Substitute the values:

$DSA=2\times 3.14\times 5\times 3$

3. Calculate:

$DSA=2\times 3.14\times 15=94.2m^2$

Example 2

Inputs:

• Radius (
  $r$

  ): 4 m

• Height (
  $h$

  ): 2 m

Calculation:

1. Use the formula:

$DSA=2\times \pi \times r\times h$

2. Substitute the values:

$DSA=2\times 3.14\times 4\times 2$

3. Calculate:

$DSA=2\times 3.14\times 8=50.24m^2$

I hope, now you can use the Dome Surface Area Calculator to find the surface area quickly.
