Cylinder Calculator
Volume & Surface Area โก
Enter the radius and height of a cylinder to instantly calculate its volume, total surface area, and lateral surface area.
Enter the radius and height of a cylinder to instantly calculate its volume, total surface area, and lateral surface area.
Volume: V = ฯ ร rยฒ ร h
Lateral Surface Area: LSA = 2ฯ ร r ร h
Total Surface Area: TSA = 2ฯ ร r ร (r + h)
What is the difference between lateral and total surface area?
The lateral surface area is just the curved side of the cylinder โ like the label on a can. The total surface area includes both circular ends as well.
What units does the calculator use?
Any consistent unit. If radius and height are in cm, volume is in cmยณ and surface areas are in cmยฒ.
How do I find the volume of a hollow cylinder?
Calculate the volume of the outer cylinder, then subtract the volume of the inner cylinder using the inner radius.
