Surface Area of a Cylinder
A cylinder is a special type of prism, where the end faces are circles.

The surface area of the cylinder is made up of the following:
- Area of the top (circle):
- Area of the bottom (circle):
- Area of the side that wraps around the cylinder:2 π r h

So, the surface area of a cylinder is .

Practice: Cylinders

A cylindrical soda can has a volume of 0.35L. If the radius of the top of the can is 3.2 cm, determine the height of this soda can.
Useful conversions:
- 1 L = 1000 ml
- 1 ml = 1 cm3
