What is the formula for the total surface area of a cylinder?

Back

The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: TSA = 2πr(h + r), where r is the radius and h is the height.

Front

What is the difference between lateral surface area and total surface area?

Back

Lateral surface area refers to the area of the sides of the prism, while total surface area includes the lateral area plus the area of the bases.
