Curved Surface Area (CSA) of Cylinder

The curved surface area, or lateral surface area of a cylinder, is the space enclosed between the two parallel circular bases.

The formula for the curved surface area, or lateral surface area, of a cylinder, is given as,

Curved Surface Area (CSA) = Circumference × Height

Formula of CSA of cylinder :

Curved Surface Area (CSA) = 2πrh

where, 

  • r is the radius of the cylinder, and 
  • h is the height of the cylinder.
