How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the radius (r) of the cylinder in the first input field. The radius is the distance from the center of the circular base to the edge.
  2. Enter the height (h) of the cylinder in the second input field. The height is the perpendicular distance between the two circular bases.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the surface area of the cylinder.
  4. The surface area will be displayed in the result field. The formula used is Surface Area (A) = 2πr(r + h).
  5. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and results.

Understanding the Formula

The surface area of a cylinder consists of two circular bases and a lateral surface. The formula for the surface area is:

Surface Area (A) = 2πr(r + h)

Where:

  • π (Pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
  • r is the radius of the circular base.
  • h is the height of the cylinder.

This calculator provides high precision results, making it suitable for engineering and scientific applications where accuracy is crucial.
