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.

A cylinder with a height of 4cm and a width of 10cm has a lateral area of about 125.66cm2
To find the lateral area of a cylinder, multiply the circumference (πd) by the height (πdh). After you have this, you can find the total surface area by adding twice the area of the base (2πr2).(Lateral area = πdh), (Surface area = πdh + 2πr2).
A right cylinder having a base radius of 12mm and a height of 60mm has a lateral area of approximately 4523.89mm2
The lateral area is the surface area of a 3D figure, excluding the area of any bases. For the lateral area of a cylinder, you would take the circumference of the base multiplied by the height of the cylinder to get the lateral area of the surface. It's basically splitting a can down one side, cutting the ends off completely, rolling it out flat, and figuring out the area of the resulting rectangle.
The lateral surface area of a cylinder with the radius of 7 feet and height of 16 feet equals 703.72 feet2
