x2 + y2 = r2
Where "x" and "y" represent the co-ordinates of any point on the curve relative to it's center point, and "r" represents it's radius. If you want to specify a curve that goes around a specific point (we'll call it {a, b}), then that can be expressed as:
(x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = r2

A good place to measure is the diameter of the circular end. That gives you the area of the circular end, and the only other number you need in order to calculate the cylinder's volume is its straight length.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs perpendicular to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex the resulting curve will be a circle.
