What is the surface area of a cylinder with the radius of 3 and a height of 4 in the terms of pi?

Since the top and the bottom of the cylinder are circles, you can use the formula:  A  =  pi · r2  to find those areas.

The area of the side can be found by using the formula:  A  =  2 · pi · r · h.

The total area will be the sum of the three answers (top + bottom + side).

Top  =  pi · 32  =  9pi

Bottom  =  pi · 32  =  9pi

Side  =  2 · pi · 3 · 4 =  24pi

Total  =  9pi + 9pi + 24pi  =  42pi
