Surface Area of a Solid Cylinder
A cylinder is a solid that has two parallel faces which are congruent circles. These faces form the bases of the cylinder. The cylinder has one curved surface. The height of the cylinder is the perpendicular distance between the two bases. The net of a solid cylinder consists of 2 circles and one rectangle. The curved surface opens up to form a rectangle.
Surface area = 2 × area of circle + area of rectangle
Surface Area = 2πr2 + 2πrh = 2πr(r + h)
where r is the radius and h is the height.

Surface area of a hollow cylinder
Sometimes you may be required to calculate the total surface area of a hollow cylinder or tube or pipe.
Total surface area of hollow cylinder
= area of internal curved surface + area of external curved surface + area of the two rings
= area of internal curved surface + area of external curved surface + area of the two rings
Example:
The figure shows a section of a metal pipe. Given the internal radius of the pipe is 2 cm, the external radius is 2.4 cm and the length of the pipe is 10 cm. Find the total surface area of the pipe
Solution:
r = 2, R = 2.4, h = 10
Total surface area of pipe= area of internal surface + area of external surface + area of the two rings
= 2πrh + 2πRh + 2(πR2– πr2)
= (2π × 2 × 10) + (2π × 2.4 × 10) + (2 × (2.42π – 22π))
= 40π + 48π + 3.52π
= 91.52π
= 91.52 × 3.142
= 287.56 cm2
