Your details

Choose which measurement you already know. The other values will be calculated.
The distance from the centre of the circular face to its edge.
cm
The length (height) of the cylinder along its central axis.

Circumference
31.4159cm

The perimeter of the circular cross-section (2 x pi x radius)

Radius5cm
Diameter10cm
Lateral Surface Area314.1593cm2
Base Area (each)78.5398cm2
Total Surface Area471.2389cm2
Volume785.3982cm3

Circumference = 31.4159

  • The circumference is 31.4159, which is the perimeter of any circular cross-section taken through the cylinder.
  • The diameter is 10.0000 (twice the radius of 5.0000).
  • The curved lateral surface makes up 66.7% of the total outer surface, with each end cap contributing about 16.6%.
  • The volume is 785.3982, calculated as the base area (78.5398) multiplied by the height.

Next stepTo wrap a label around the cylinder, use the lateral surface area. To paint both end caps too, use the total surface area.
