Notice that if you were to slit the cylinder down the side, unroll it, and lay it flat,
you'd have a rectangle, with one dimension equal to the circumference of the base,
and the other dimension equal to the height of the cylinder.
The surface area is just "rectangle's" (length) x (width) = (2 pi R) x (h) .

How do you find the total surface area of a closed cylinder?
Total surface area = (2*pi*radius2)+(diameter*pi*height)
Find the total surface area of this cylinder with a height of 10 and radius of 1?
Total surface area = (2*pi*r2)+(2*pi*r*height) Surface area = 69.11503838 or 69 square units
How do you find the height of a cylinder if you have the circumference and the surface area?
you divide the surface area by the circumference.
How would you find the surface area of a cylinder with a cylinder bored out of it?
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
How do you find surface area and volume of cylinder?
Surface Area: 2πr2 + 2πrh Volume: πr2h
