Calculate the surface area and centerline length of a Mobius strip from the radius and strip width.
Last updated: March 2026 | By ForgeCalc Engineering
Formula Summary
Area = 2 × π × r × w
Length = 2 × π × r
A Mobius strip is a non-orientable surface with one side and one boundary component. It is a classic object in topology and is often used to demonstrate surprising geometric properties.
For radius 10 and width 2, the surface area is 125.6637 and the centerline length is 62.8319.
Does a Mobius strip have two sides?
No. It has one continuous side and one boundary component.
Can I use decimals?
Yes. Any finite positive real values are accepted.
Why is the area only an estimate?
The calculator uses a simple rectangular model for the strip.
What if the radius or width is zero?
Zero or negative values are rejected because they do not describe a valid strip.
