Step-by-step

  1. V = πr²h = π × 9.0000 × 10 = 282.7433.
  2. Lateral SA = 2πrh = 2π × 3 × 10 = 188.4956.
  3. Each circular base = πr² = 28.2743.
  4. Total SA = lateral + 2 bases = 188.4956 + 56.5487 = 245.0442.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter radius and height of the cylinder.
  • Read volume, lateral surface (the curved wall), and total surface area.

About this calculator

A right circular cylinder has two parallel circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface, perpendicular to the bases. Volume V = πr²h (base × height). Lateral surface area = 2πrh (unroll the curved side into a rectangle of width 2πr — circumference — and height h). Total SA = lateral + 2 bases = 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr(r + h).

Frequently asked

Lateral = just the curved wall (2πrh). Total = lateral + the two circular caps (2πr²).
