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.

Formula

QuantityVariable["S", "Area"] == Pi*QuantityVariable["d", "Diameter"]*(QuantityVariable["d", "Diameter"]/2 + QuantityVariable["L", "Length"])
