Cylinders, Cones and Spheres: Calculating the area of a cylinder

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the surface area of a cylinder using the formula 2πR² + 2πRH. It demonstrates the process with two examples: one with given radius and height, and another with given diameter. The tutorial also highlights the practical application of this calculation, such as determining the amount of paint needed to cover a cylindrical object.

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

If the radius of a cylinder is 4 centimeters and the height is 5 centimeters, what is the surface area?

Why is it important to calculate the surface area of an object like a water tower?

What is the surface area of a cylinder with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 12 meters?

How do you find the radius if you are given the diameter of a cylinder?
