Cylinder (Volume, Surface Area or Lateral Surface) Calculator
getcalc.com's cylinder calculator is an online basic geometry tool to calculate volume, surface area or lateral surface of a cylinder shape, in both US customary & metric (SI) units.
Steps to Find Volume, Surface Area & Lateral Surface Area of a Cylinder
The step by step workout for how to find what is the volume, surface area or lateral surface of a cylinder. Students may use this cylinder calculator to generate work with steps for any other similar input values.Workout :
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values
Radius = 3 in
Height = 10 in
step 2 Apply radius and height values in below volume formual
Volume V = πr²h
= 3.1416 x 3² x 10 in³
= 3.1416 x 9 x 10 in³
Volume V = 282.7433 in³
step 3 Find Surface Area using radius and height values
Surface Area A = 2πrh + 2πr²
= (2 x π x 3 x 10) + 2 x π x (3)² in²
= (2 x 3.1416 x 3 x 10) + 2 x 3.1416 x 9 in²
= 188.4956 + 56.5487 in²
Surface Area = 245.0442 in²
step 4 Find Lateral Area using radius and height values
Lateral Area = 2πrh
= 2 x 3.1416 x 3 x 10 in²
Lateral Area = 188.4956 in²
Cylinder & Formulas
