The surface area of a (circular) cylinder is the circumference of the circle times the height
If you need to add the surface of the ends then add twice the area of the end circles.
Given r as the radius of the (circular) cylinder and h as the height, the area A is:
(2*pi*r*h) + (2*pi*r2)*2 = A

Formula for total area of a cylinder?
Total area measured in square units = (2*pi*radius2)+(pi*diameter*height)
What is the formula for the total surface area of a right circular cylinder?
T=L+B
How did we come up with the formula for surface area of a cylinder?
Total surface area of a cylinder in square units = (2*pi*radius2)+(2*pi*radius*height)
What is the formula for total surface area of cylinder?
You need the surface area of then ends and those are circles so Pixr2 and there are 2 of them. Now you see the sides and that is 2Pirxh. Add these together and you have the surface area of the cylinder. Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2 pi r2 + 2 pi r h
What is the formula for area for a cylinder?
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is pi times the radius squared times the height. An easy way to remember the formula is that it is equal to the area of the circle times the height.
