Instantly calculate the volume and total surface area of a cylinder. Simply input the radius and height of your cylinder.
A cylinder is a 3D shape with two parallel circular bases. To calculate its properties, you need the **radius (r)** of the base and the **height (h)**.
V = π × r² × h
A = 2πrh + 2πr²
The volume of a cylinder is basically the area of the circular base multiplied by the height.
Calculate the volume of a soda can with a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm.
Lateral surface area is the area of the side of the cylinder only, excluding the top and bottom circles. The formula is 2πrh.
Yes, just divide your diameter by 2 to get the radius before entering it into the calculator.
Yes, the surface area calculated here assumes a closed cylinder (top + bottom + side). If it's an open pipe, you would just calculate the lateral area.
