The Long Inner Side of Hollow Frustum is the side length of the inner regular polygon on the base of the Hollow Frustum. It represents the measurement of the inner boundary of the hollow geometric shape.
The calculator uses the mathematical formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the inner side length by subtracting twice the thickness from the outer side length, accounting for the uniform thickness around the hollow frustum.
Details: This formula is derived from the geometric properties of hollow frustums, where the thickness is uniform and the inner dimensions are consistently smaller than the outer dimensions by twice the thickness value.
Tips: Enter the Long Outer Side measurement in meters and the Thickness value in meters. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: What is a Hollow Frustum?
A: A hollow frustum is a three-dimensional geometric shape that resembles a truncated pyramid or cone with a hollow interior, creating a uniform thickness throughout the structure.
Q2: When is this calculation typically used?
A: This calculation is commonly used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing where hollow frustum-shaped components are designed and fabricated.
Q3: Are there any limitations to this formula?
A: This formula assumes uniform thickness and regular polygon shapes. It may not be accurate for irregular shapes or varying thickness distributions.
Q4: What units should be used for input values?
A: The calculator uses meters as the default unit, but any consistent unit system can be used as long as all inputs are in the same units.
Q5: Can this formula be used for circular hollow frustums?
A: While the concept is similar, circular hollow frustums (conical frustums) typically use diameter or radius measurements rather than side lengths.
