The surface area also depends on the thickness of the puck.
The information given is sufficient only to determine the areas of the top and bottom of the puck. The area of the curved side depends on the width (or height) of the puck, which is not specified.

A hockey puck
THE PUCK, you play hockey to get the puck.
An ice hockey puck travels smoother and faster on ice, floor and street hockey pucks are designed for use on certain surface types and perform better on those specific surfaces.
No large force is needed for a hockey puck to slide across a frictionless surface. Once the puck is in motion, it will continue to move indefinitely without any additional force due to the absence of friction.
Yes, rough ice can slow down the speed of the puck in ice hockey as it creates more friction between the puck and the surface. This can affect the puck's ability to glide smoothly and decrease its speed and overall performance on the ice.
An ice-hockey puck has less friction than a ball rolling on the ground because ice surfaces are smoother and provide less resistance compared to the irregularities on the ground that increase friction. Additionally, the material of the ice-hockey puck and the ice surface are designed to have low friction properties to allow for smoother and faster movement on the ice.
The hockey puck was invented so hockey players had something to shoot into the goal.
On ice, the puck experiences less friction due to the smooth surface, allowing it to slide further with less force. On the street, the rougher surface creates more friction, making it necessary to exert more force to push the puck. Overall, the forces required to move the puck on ice are generally lower compared to those needed on the street.
The Game of Ice hockey is played with a Puck.
