Mobius Strip Calculator
The Mobius Strip Calculator finds the surface area and single continuous edge length of a Möbius strip made from a rectangular strip of paper. Enter the strip length and width.
Formula
Surface area = Length × Width; Single edge length = 2 × Length
- A Möbius strip has only one side and one edge because of its half-twist.
- Tracing the edge travels the strip twice, giving an edge length of 2L.
