Cylinder Volume & Surface Area

Calculate the volume and surface area of a cylinder. Useful for construction, science projects, and geometry homework.

Loading Tool...

Applications

Essential for construction (calculating concrete for pillars), manufacturing (volume of cans or pipes), and science (measuring liquids in graduated cylinders).

The Formulas

Volume = π × r² × h. Surface Area = 2 × π × r × (r + h). It treats the cylinder as a circular base extended through a height.

Fun Fact: If you unroll the side of a cylinder, it forms a perfect rectangle with a width equal to the circle's circumference (2πr)!
