Question: what is 2pie r h?
Answer: Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2 pi r 2 + 2 pi r h (h is the height of the cylinder, r is the radius of the top) Surface Area = Areas of top and bottom +Area of the side. Surface Area = 2(Area of top) + (perimeter of top)* height. Surface Area = 2(pi r 2) + (2 pi r)* h. In words, the easiest way is to think of a can.
