Surface Area of a Cylinder Calculator

Surface area of a cylinder calculator to calculate a cylinder's surface area. Surface area of cylinder formula is used on how to find the surface area of a cylinder.

Surface area of cylinder formula

The surface area of cylinder formula is SA=2πrh+2πr², where
π≈3.14159
r=radius of circle.
A cylinder is one of most common three dimensional shapes. It has 3 faces with two circles and one rectangle. To find the surface area of cylinder, we calculate two area of circle 2πr² and one area of rectangle 2πrh first, and then add them 2πr²+2πrh.

How to find the surface area of a cylinder

Following is how to calculate surface area of a cylinder with radius 1.5 and height 2.
Surface Area = 2 x π x 1.5 x 2+2 x π1.5 x 1.5 ≈32.98672.
