Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to calculate circumference when two cylinders are intersects each other marked with red color such as below image?

Thanks in advance

Probably parametrize the curve of intersection, then do it as an integral.

Related to How to Calculate Un-Ordinary Circumference?

1. How do you calculate the circumference of a circle?

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.

2. What is the difference between ordinary and un-ordinary circumference?

Ordinary circumference refers to the measurement around a circle, while un-ordinary circumference refers to the measurement around an irregular shape, such as an oval or ellipse.

3. How do you measure the radius for an un-ordinary circumference calculation?

To measure the radius for an un-ordinary circumference calculation, you will need to measure the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge. This can be done using a ruler or measuring tape.

4. Can the formula for calculating un-ordinary circumference be applied to any shape?

No, the formula for calculating un-ordinary circumference (C = 2πr) is specific to circles and cannot be applied to other shapes. Other shapes may have their own unique formulas for calculating their circumference.

5. Is there a difference between un-ordinary circumference and perimeter?

Yes, un-ordinary circumference refers to the measurement around a curved shape, while perimeter refers to the measurement around any shape, including straight lines. Perimeter can also be calculated by adding all sides of a shape, while un-ordinary circumference is specific to circles and requires the use of a formula.
