What is the total surface area formula for a cylinder?
Total Surface Area of Cylinder = 2πr ( r + h )
Describe the structure of a cylinder in mathematical terms.
Describe the structure of a cylinder in mathematical terms.
A cylinder is a three-dimensional object with two round flat bases and one curved side. The base and the top surface are identical, with bases always parallel and congruent to each other.
Explain the relationship between the radius and height in the volume formula of a cylinder.
Explain the relationship between the radius and height in the volume formula of a cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder, V, is given by V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. The volume is directly proportional to both the square of the radius and the height.

Study Notes
Cylinder Formulas and Structure
- The total surface area of a cylinder is calculated by the formula: 2πr(h + r)
- A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid with two parallel and circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface, where the radius (r) is the distance from the center of the base to the edge, and the height (h) is the distance between the two bases
- The volume of a cylinder is calculated by the formula: πr²h, where the radius (r) and height (h) are directly proportional, meaning that an increase in one variable will result in a proportional increase in the volume
Cylinder Terminology
- The curved surface of a cylinder is referred to as the lateral surface
Visualizing Cylinder Structure
- A simple activity to visualize the structure of a cylinder is to roll a rectangular sheet of paper into a cylindrical shape, demonstrating how the curved surface connects the two circular bases
