S.A.(Cyl) = 2pir*h This is for the circular (round) face.

Then add the area of the two circular ends

2A = 2pir^(2)

Hence for the whole cylinder including the circular ends.

S.A. = 2pirh + 2pir^(2)

Factor

S.A. = 2pir(h + r)

So you needs to know the radius(r) and cylinder(length)(h).

The units will be squared (units^(2)).

An example

R = 2 cm

h = 20 cm

Hence

SA = 23.142(2 + 20)

SA= 23.142(22)

SA = 3.14 (88)

SA = 276.32 cm^(2).

Why do cells get so big than divide?

Cells are dependent on the ration between surface area and volume. as the cels get bigger the ratio decreases, meaning that the volume gets larger faster than does the surface area. they cant survive past a certain point, because the nutrients that permeate the membrane have a harder time diffusing throughout a larger volume with a comparatively smaller surface area. this is why cells divide: the volume splits in half, but the surface area stays the same.
