Calculating Lateral and Total Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders

What is the first step in finding the surface area of a cylinder?

• Measure the diameter

• Calculate the perimeter

• Identify the height

• Choose the correct formula

What should you do if you are given the diameter instead of the radius?

• Square the diameter

• Divide by two

• Use it as is

• Multiply by two
