### What is Meant by the Surface Area of a Cylinder?

In Mathematics, the term surface area generally defines the area of the three-dimensional shapes. The surface area is defined as the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the shape. The surface area of the cylinder is calculated as follows:

The Curved or Lateral Surface Area of a cylinder = 2πrh square units

The Total Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2πr (h+r)  square units.
