Cylinder Formulas

A cylinder is a 3D shape with two circular bases connected by a curved surface. Common examples include cans, pipes, and tubes.

Volume = π × r² × h
Lateral Surface Area = 2 × π × r × h
Total Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r+h)

Cylinder Examples

r=3, h=8
V ≈ 226.19
r=5, h=10
V ≈ 785.40

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 and height 8? ▼
V = π × 3² × 8 = π × 9 × 8 = 72π ≈ 226.19 cubic units.
What is the difference between volume and surface area? ▼
Volume is the space inside the cylinder (cubic units). Surface area is the total area of all surfaces: two circular ends + curved side (square units).
How do you find cylinder volume from diameter? ▼
Convert diameter to radius: r = d/2. Then V = π × (d/2)² × h.
