Uncover the total volume of any obelisk with our intuitive online calculator. Perfect for architects, engineers, and students, this tool simplifies complex geometric calculations. Input the base side length, top shaft side length, shaft height, and pyramidion height to get an accurate cubic measurement.
Formula:
The volume of an obelisk (V) is calculated by summing the volume of its frustum (main shaft) and its pyramidion (top part).
Formula: V = (1/3) * hs * (a² + b² + ab) + (1/3) * b² * hp
- a: Side length of the square base
- b: Side length of the square at the top of the shaft (base of the pyramidion)
- hs: Height of the main shaft (frustum)
- hp: Height of the pyramidion
