Cylinder Calculator is an online tool used to find volume, curved surface area and total surface area of the cylinder.

Cylinder is a solid geometrical figure. It has two circular curves one for the base and another for the opening of the cylinder. Height is measured along the y-axis of cylinder. The distance from the center of the base and the edge of the cylinder is radius.

## Step by Step Calculation

Step 1 :

Cylinder Formula's:

Volume of a Cylinder

V = $\pi$r2h

Where V = Volume, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder

C = 2$\pi$rh

Where C = Curved surface area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Total Surface Area of Cylinder

A = 2$\pi$r(h+r)

Where A = Area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Step 2 :

Put the values in the formulas and calculate it further.

## Example Problems

1. ### The cylinder has the radius (r) = 5 cm, height (h) = 10 cm. Calculate for volume, curved surface area  and total surface area of cylinder.

Step 1 :

Given: Cylinder has the radius (r) = 5 cm, height (h) = 10 cm.

Volume of a Cylinder

V = $\pi$r2h

Where V = Volume, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder

C = 2$\pi$rh

Where C = Curved surface area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Total Surface Area of Cylinder

A = 2$\pi$r(h+r)

Where A = Area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Step 2 :

Put the values in the formulas and calculate it further.

Volume of a Cylinder

V = 3.142 * 52 * 10

V = 785.39 cm3

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder

C = 2 * 3.142 * 5 * 10

C = 314.149 cm2

Total Surface Area of Cylinder

A = 2 * 3.142 * 5 (10 + 5)

A = 471.23 cm2

Volume of Cylinder =785.39 cm3

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder = 314.149 cm2

Total Surface Area of Cylinder = 471.23 cm2

2. ### The cylinder has the radius (r) = 7 m, height (h) = 13 m. Calculate for volume, curved surface area  and total surface area of cylinder.

Step 1 :

Given: Cylinder has the radius (r) = 7 m, height (h) = 13 m.

Volume of a Cylinder

V = $\pi$r2h

Where V = Volume, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder

C = 2$\pi$rh

Where C = Curved surface area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Total Surface Area of Cylinder

A = 2$\pi$r(h+r)

Where A = Area, r = radius, h = height and $\pi$ value = 3.142

Step 2 :

Put the values in the formulas and calculate it further.

Volume of a Cylinder

V = 3.142 * 72 * 13

V = 2001.19 m3

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder

C = 2 * 3.142 * 7 * 13

C = 571.77 m2

Total Surface Area of Cylinder

A = 2 * 3.142 * 7 (13 + 7)

A = 879.64 m2

Volume of Cylinder = 2001.19 m3

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder = 571.77 m2

Total Surface Area of Cylinder = 879.64 m2
