How to use this calculator
- Enter radius in cm.
- Enter height in cm.
- Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.
Before you use the answer
Start with a dimensioned sketch and label the units beside every measurement. Distinguish the outer edge from an internal opening, and distinguish a radius from a diameter. A geometric model is most useful when the shape actually matches the assumptions in the formula.
This includes both end caps. An open tube needs only the relevant surfaces.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
