Geometry

The torus is a 3-dimensional object, that can be created through rotation a circular disc around a circle. The volume of a torus is given by the formula:

V = \frac{\pi^2}{4}\left(R_{\textrm{out}}+R_{\textrm{in}}\right)\left(R_{\textrm{out}}-R_{\textrm{in}}\right)^2

where R_{\textrm{out}} the outer radius of the torus and R_{\textrm{in}} its inner radius.

The surface area of the torus is given by the next formula:

A= \pi^2\left(R_{\textrm{out}}+R_{\textrm{in}}\right)\left(R_{\textrm{out}}-R_{\textrm{in}}\right)
