How to Find Surface Area, Volume of Cylinder ?
The surface area of a cylinder is the area occupied by the boundary of a cone. It is measured in square units. The surface area of the cylinder is defined as the sum of curved surface area and the area of two circular bases. The formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is given by
Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2πr(h+r)
Where,'r' is the radius of the cylinder and 'h' is the height of the cylinder and π(Pi) is the mathematical constant with an approximate value of 3.14
The volume of a cylinder is defined as the amount of space or capacity that a cylinder occupies. It is measured in cubic units. The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is given by
The volume of a cylinder = πr2h
Solved Examples on Cylinder Calculator
-
Example1:
Find surface area of cylinder whose radius is 5 units and height is 6 units.
Solution:
Suface area of cylinder = 2πr(h+r)
= 2 × 3.14 × 5 × (6 + 5)
= (31.4) × (11)
= 345.4 square units.
-
Example2:
Find the volume of a cylinder whose height = 3 units and radius = 7 units.
Solution:
When the height and radius are given, we can use the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder.
Volume = πr²h
= π × 7² × 3
= 461.58 cubic units
Similarly, you can use the calculator to find the surface area and volume of the cylinder for the following:
- Radius = 15 units and height = 16 units
- Radius = 6 units and height = 8 units
