A cross section of a cylinder along its length is called a rectangle. When a cylinder is cut along its length, the resulting shape is a rectangle with a length equal to the circumference of the cylinder and a height equal to the height of the cylinder. The area of this rectangle represents the lateral surface area of the cylinder.
This cylinder has a radius of approximately 4.0cm

Whether a cylinder is laid horizontally, or standing vertically, it has the same volume.The volume of a cylinder is the 'square area' of the circle at the end, multiplied by its length/height.The area of a circle is Pi x diameter. (The inner diameter is probably best. The final calculation will then show the total internal volume in cubic units.)End area x length = volume.If the cylinder is laid horizontally, the distance between the ends would be called its length. If the cylinder is standing up, the distance between the ends is called its height.
Lateral Area= (2pi)x(radius)x(height) Try imagining that you take the lateral area and unfold it from the cylinder. If you imagine it correctly you get a rectangle. The height of the cylinder is the height of the rectangle. Then the circumference is the length. SO you multiply the circumference of the base times the height.
