Cylinder Lateral Surface Area
A cylinder is the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line called the axis of the cylinder. Lateral surface area refers to the area covered by the curved side of the cylinder.
The lateral surface area equals the product of \[Pi], the diameter and the length of the cylinder.
