How Do You Calculate The Surface Area Of A Cylinder?
• To find the surface area of a cylinder add the surface area of each end plus the surface area of the side. • Each end is a circle so the surface area of each end is π * r2, where r is the radius of the end. There are two ends so their combined surface area is 2 π * r2. The surface area of the side is the circumference times the height or 2 π * r * h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the side.
