What is the formula for the total surface area of a cylinder?(1 point)

Answer 1

The formula for the total surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by:

\[ A = 2\pi r(h + r) \]

where:

• \( r \) is the radius of the base of the cylinder,
• \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
• \( \pi \) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

This formula includes the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral (side) surface area of the cylinder.
