Surface Area 2 pi r 2 2 pi r h. The formula for the surface area of the cylinder is equal to the total surface area of the bases of the cylinder and surface area of its sides. 000 surface area of a cylinder028.
Surface area of a cylinder The surface area formula for a cylinder is p x diameter x diameter 2 height where diameter 2 is the radius of the base d 2 x r so another way to write it is p x radius x 2 x radius height.
In the example shown the formula in D5 copied down is. A 2prh 2pr2 A 2 p r h 2 p r 2 In this formula a a is the total surface area r r is the radius of the circles at both ends h h is the height and p p is the irrational number that we simplify and shorten to 3141595 3141595 or even shorter 314 314. 2 PI B5 C5 2 PI B5 2.
