Online calculator to calculate the surface area of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, spherical cap, and triangular prism

Presents the formula and an example showing how to find the cross-sectional area of a cylinder. In this case, it is the same as the surface area for the circular faces.

This tutorial provides a brief introduction about what area is, then gives the formulas for area of a square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, triangle, and circle. Examples of each formula are provided.

Mini-lesson takes a look at the definition and shape of a cylinder, cylinder formula, cylinder volume, and cylinder surface area. Try your hand at the cylinder surface area calculator and interactive questions for better understanding.
