Best Answer

A cone comes to a point on the end, while a cylinder is rounded on both ends. To calculate the volume:

Cone:

1/3 x pi x radius2 x height

Cylinder:

pi x radius2 x height

To calculate the surface area:

Cone:

pi x radius2 + pi x radius x (the square root of radius2 + height2)

Cylinder:

2 x pi x radius x height + (2 x pi x radius2)
