Instructions: Enter the radius \(r\) and the height \(h\) of a cylinder and the units (cm, mt, ft, etc) and the solver will compute the corresponding area and perimeter.
More About the Cylinder
In order to compute the area and volume of a cylinder of radius \(r\) and height \(h\) we use the following formulas:
\[ \text{Area} = 2\pi r h+2\pi r^2\] \[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h \]Computationally speaking, it quite simple simple to compute the area and the volume of a cylinder, by simply plugging the radius \(r\) and height \(r\) in the above formulas. For example, if the radius is \(r = 3\) and the height is \(h = 2\) then we compute
\[ \text{Area} = 2\pi r h+2\pi r^2 = 2\pi \cdot 3 \cdot 2 + 2 \pi \cdot 3^2 = 30 \pi \] \[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h = \pi \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2 = 18\pi\]which completes the calculation.
