Cylinder Formulas & FAQ
What are the key formulas for a cylinder?
Let r be the radius and h be the height.
- Volume (V): V = π × r² × h
- Lateral Surface Area (L): L = 2 × π × r × h (the area of the side)
- Base Surface Area (B): B = π × r² (the area of the top or bottom circle)
- Total Surface Area (A): A = L + 2B = 2πr(h + r)
How are radius, diameter, and circumference related?
These three measurements of a circle are directly related:
- Diameter (d): d = 2 × r
- Circumference (C): C = 2 × π × r = π × d
This calculator automatically updates all three values when you change one.
