How to Calculate Surface Area of Cylinder

Calculate the total surface area of a cylinder.

The Formula

SA = 2πr(r+h)

The surface area of cylinder formula uses the mathematical relationship: SA = 2πr(r+h). Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.

Step-by-Step Method

  1. 1Identify all input values needed for the surface area of cylinder calculation.
  2. 2Substitute your known values into the formula: SA = 2πr(r+h).
  3. 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
  4. 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
  5. 5Verify using the interactive Surface Area of Cylinder to confirm your answer.
