Curved surface area of cylinder calculator
The steps to manually calculate the curved surface area of a cylinder:
- Identify the radius (r) and height (h) of the cylinder.
- Calculate the circumference of the base (C) using the formula:
C = 2 * π * r
where π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14.
- Calculate the area of the base (B) using the formula:
B = π * r^2
- Calculate the curved surface area of the cylinder (A) using the formula:
A = C * h
where h is the height of the cylinder.
- Add the area of the base found in step 3 to the curved surface area found in step 4 to get the total surface area (T) of the cylinder:
T = B + A
- Round the final result to the desired number of decimal places.
That’s it! You can now manually calculate the curved surface area of a cylinder.
