First you'll need your cylinder.

First you'll need your cylinder.

You need to measure the hight of the cylinder. Record your answer.

You need to measure the hight of the cylinder. Record your answer.

You also need to determine the diameter.

You also need to determine the diameter.

Now that you've gotten the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius because both formulas you'll be using require the radius.

Now that you've gotten the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius because both formulas you'll be using require the radius.

This is the formula we will be using. Let's get started.

This is the formula we will be using. Let's get started.

First we will do the surface area. This formula has 2 parts. We start with this part.
