Default How do I find arctanh() in exel

a = 6,378,137.0 (Semi-major axis...)

Hi. Just note that your units are not consistent.

a 6378.137
b 6356.75231424518
e 0.0818191908426215

=2*PI()*(POWER(a,2)+(POWER(b,2)*ATANH(e))/e)

510,065,621.724088

Please help me with a formular I need to enter into an exel spreedsheet cell;

Surface area of the Earth =

A = 2πaSQRT+π(bSQRT/e)ln[(1+e)/(1e)] = (answer 510065621.724)

or (= 2π[aSQRT+(bSQRT/e)arctanh(e)])= (answer 510065621.724)

where

a = 6,378,137.0 (Semi-major axis = equatorial radius = a)

b = 6,356,752.314245180 (Semi-minor axis = polar radius = b)

e = 0.08181919084262150(first eccentricity)

I get stuck with the symbols "ln" and "arctanh"

Radius of sphere of equal surface area = ½(A/π) = (answer 6371007.1809)

I get stuck with the symbol ""

Radius of sphere of equal volume = (¾V/π)¹³ = (a2b)¹³ = (answer
6,371,000.790)

where "V" volume = 1,083,207,319,801.0

I get stuck with the symbol "¹³"
