In geometry, a tubular solid figure with a circular base. In everyday use, the term applies to a right cylinder, the curved surface of which is at right angles to the base.
The volume V of a cylinder is given by the formula V = pr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Its total surface area A has the formula A = 2pr(h + r), where 2prh is the curved surface area, and 2pr2 is the area of both circular ends.
