The total surface area of a cylinder can be found using the formula
A = 2(pi)r2 + 2(pi)rh or A = 2(pi)(r2 + rh)
2 (pi x radius squared) = both ends of the cylinder
pi x (2 radius) x height = area along the cylinder's side (circumference x height)

The area for the base of a cylinder is the area of a circle. pi times radius squared.
You Find the Hieght of the cylinder
First find the area of the cylinder's base, and multiply that by the height. For V = A x h. Volume, Area, height.
We assume the surface area of a cylinder excluding its ends. Area = height of cylinder multiplied by circumference. That is A = h x Pi x diameter.
if the cylinder is on the inside, it would not affect the surface area. otherwise, subtract the part of the inside cylinder that touches the outside from the cylinder
