A cylinder of radius R and length L has a surface area equal to:

Area = Area of 2 Circular Faces + Area of Tube = 2 * Pi * R2 + 2 * Pi * R * L

Area = 2 * Pi * R * (R+L)

where Pi = 3.14 (rounded)

Another way to look at it is: 2 * Pi * R2 + Pi * d * h.

H= height

R= radius

D= diameter

2= squared
