Pretend you have a soup can in front of you. That is a cylinder. Now, pretend you are cutting off both ends, which are circles. Now, with the leftover body part, unfold it, so it resembles a rectangle. Now you have circles and triangles.
Now, use the rectangular area formula (Area=Base X Height) and find the area of the rectangle.
Now, use the circular area formula (Pi [3.14] X Radius [Half the diameter]2) and multiply that by 2 (because of the 2 circles, top and bottom). Add the rectangular and circular (the doubled total) together and you have the area of the cylinder. I hope this helped!

Formula for volume of a cylinder?
The formula for volume of a cylinder is pi•r2•h
What is the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder in BASIC?
Volume of a cylinder = pi*radius2*height
The formula to calculate volume of a cylinder?
The formula to calculate volume of a cylinder is: V = r2 x Pi x height (r = radius)
Formula for volumn of a cylinder?
For a right cylinder, the formula for volume is quite simple. It is pi times the radius of the cylinder squared times the height of the cylinder.
What is the formula for the area of a circle and the volume of a cylinder are related?
The formula for area of a circle is radius squared times pi. The formula for volume of a cylinder is radius squared times pi times height.
