Cylinder

Two circles joined by a tube. Cans, pipes, drums.

A cylinder is two parallel circles joined by a curved tube. Soup cans, drinking glasses, batteries, drums — cylinders show up wherever you want strength with simple parts.

volume = π·r²·10 = 502.65
Volume

Base area (πr²) × height

Surface area

Two circle ends + the curved side.

Unroll the curved side and you get a flat rectangle — width 2πr (the circumference), height h. That's why the side area is 2πr·h.
