Cylinder

A cylinder is a solid object having curved surface with two circular faces of same size. Measuring jars, circular pillars, circular pipes, gluesticks etc. are some examples of cylinder. A cylinder is also called a circular prism. The figure given below is a cylinder.

Solid Cylinder
Where,
AX = BY = r = radius of cylinder
AB = XY = h = height of cylinder
XY = axis of cylinder

If the axis of cylinder is perpendicular to the circular base then the cylinder is called a right circular cylinder, otherwise it is called an oblique cylinder.

Formula for surface area and volume of right circular cylinder

Curved surface area (CSA) of cylinder = 2πrh
Total surface area (TSA) of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Hollow Cylinder

A hollow cylinder is a solid bounded by two co-axial cylinders of the same height and different radii. For example - water pipe, rubber pipe etc. The figure given below is a hollow cylinder where R is external radius and r is the internal radius.
Hollow Cylinder
i.        Area of base ring = πR2 – πr2 = π(R2 – r2)
ii.       Curved surface area of hollow cylinder = External surface + Internal surface
                        = 2πRh + 2πrh
                        = 2πh(R + r)
iii.      Total surface area of hollow cylinder = Curved surface area + 2 Area of base ring
                    = 2πh(R+r) + 2π(R2–r2)
                    = 2πh(R+r) + 2 π(R+r) (R–r)
                    = 2π(R+r) (h+R–r)
iv.      Volume of the material used in hollow cylinder = External volume – internal volume
                         = πR2h – πr2h
                         = πh(R2 – r2)
