Frequently asked questions
Total surface area is 2πr(r + h). For a radius of 5 and height of 10 it is about 471.24 square units.
The curved side alone is 2πrh. It excludes the two circular ends.
The total area adds the two circular caps, each πr², to the lateral area.
Square units of whatever you enter for radius and height, such as square centimetres or square metres.
The Cylinder Surface Area Calculator uses the formula: Total surface area = 2 × 3.141592653589793 × Radius × (Radius + Height). For example, with radius of 5 and height of 10, the total surface area is 471.2389.
