The formula for the total surface area of a cylinder is given by:
\[
\text{Total Surface Area} = 2\pi r(h + r)
\]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
- \( \pi \) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
This formula accounts for the lateral surface area (the side) of the cylinder as well as the area of the two circular bases.
