Circular Cylinder Formulas

Volume:

$V = πr²h$

Surface Area:

$SA = 2πr(r + h) = 2πr² + 2πrh$

Lateral Area:

$LA = 2πrh$

Where $r$ is the radius of the base and $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

Example:

For a cylinder with radius 3 units and height 5 units:

  • Volume = π × 3² × 5 = 45π ≈ 141.37 cubic units
  • Surface Area = 2π × 3 × (3 + 5) = 48π ≈ 150.80 square units
  • Lateral Area = 2π × 3 × 5 = 30π ≈ 94.25 square units
