Cylinder Total 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. Surface area refers to the area covered by all sides of the cylinder.
The surface area equals the product of 2\[Pi], the diameter and the sum of the diameter and length of the cylinder.
