The shape that makes up the top and bottom of a cylinder is Circle.

  • The formula to find area of circle is:

Where,

  • r is the Radius of the circle

Since, There are two circles we will multiply the area by 2


\boxed{2\pi {r}^(2) }


\red{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \orange{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \color{yellow}{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \green{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \blue{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \purple{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}}

Some important formulas related to circle:


\boxed{ \sf \: circumference = 2\pi r}


\boxed{ \sf \: area = \pi {r}^(2) }


\boxed{ \sf \:radius = (1)/(2) * diameter }


\boxed{ \sf \:diameter = 2 * radius }

Cylinder is consists of two circles at both sides .

  • Area of circle=πr^2

There are two circles

Total area:-

  • 2πr^2
