The question does not specify what the required formula is for: the volume of an open cylinder, height, radius, surface area, etc. Furthermore, information on the total surface area of a cylinder will not provide sufficient information. A short wide cylinder can have the same surface area as a tall thin one. For example,

radius 5 cm and height 4 cm or

radius 4 cm and height 7.5 cm or

radius 3 cm and height 12 cm or

radius 2 cm and height 20.5 cm etc

all have the same total surface area.

But in each case the value of the other measure, for the open cylinder will be different.

What is the surface area of an open cylinder whose radius is 10.5cm and a height of 21cm?

Surface area of a cylinder without the end caps = 2*pi*10.5*21 square cm.


What is the difference between volume and surface area for an open cylinder and closed cylinder?

An open cylinder has zero volume. Its surface area is 4(pi)rL, wherein r is the radius of the cylinder and L is the length. A closed cylinder has a volume of L(pi)r^2. (That is, L times pi times r-squared.) Its surface area is 2(pi)rL + 2(pi)r^2.


What is the exterior surface area of a cylinder?

2πr2 + 2πrh = SA Where r is the radius of the end circle and h is the height of the cylinder. for an open cylinder just get rid of the 2πr2


How would you calculate the outside surface area of a cylinder that is open on one end?

You would multipy the length of the cylinder by its circumference, then add to that the area of the circle on the closed end. the formula would be: (Pi X diameter X cylinder length) + (Pi X radius X radius) For the base, the area is pi*r2. Add this area to the SA of the side, which is circumference* height, or 2pi*r*h So, the final surface area would be pi*r2 + 2pi*r*h. Because there is only one base, you only need to find the area of one circle on the bottom.


What is the surface area of a cylinder that has a height of 14ft and a radius of 7ft?

The surface area of an open ended cylinder = 2πrh = 2 x 7 x 14 π = 615.75 sq ft If the area of both ends is also required then this is 2 x πr2 = 2 x 49π = 307.88 sq ft

Surface area of cylinder formula?

Surface area (SA) = (2 x pi x radius x h) + (2 x pi x radius squared) also the formula for an open cylinder includes: (2x radius square x height) + (pi x radius square)


How do you find the ratio of surface area to volume for cylinder?

Here, pi = 3.14, r=radius, h=height. Closed cylinder : VOL: pi*r*r*h SA: 2*pi*r*h + 2*pi*r*r (essentially, one "side" of cylinder and top + bottom circles) Open-topped cylinder: VOL: same as above SA: 4*pi*r*h + pi*r*r (two "sides" to cylinder now but only bottom circle remains) Both-ends open cylinder: VOL: same as above (though such a object won't retain anything) SA: 4*pi*r*h (only two "sides" to cylinder)

What is the curved surface area of a cylinder of length 12 cm and diameter 8 cm?

there is no area. it is called surface area which is =2(pi)rh+2(pi)r(squared). this is the total surface are of a SOLID cylinder. for an open or hollow one it is =2(pi)rh+(pi)r(squared)


What is the exterior surface area of a cylinder?

2πr2 + 2πrh = SA Where r is the radius of the end circle and h is the height of the cylinder. for an open cylinder just get rid of the 2πr2


Formula for surface area of an open box?

An open box is a cube that is missing one face. so, given a open box of indeterminate Width, Length, and Height, the formula for the surface area (including the inside) is 2(2(W * H) + (W * L) + 2(L * H)).
