Revision Library formulae reminder, styled on Edexcel 1MA1 formulae-sheet conventions; wording is original.

Volume of a cylinder = pi x r^2 x h

Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2 x pi x r x h

Total surface area of a cylinder = 2 x pi x r x h + 2 x pi x r^2 = 2 x pi x r x (h + r)

Note: on the Edexcel formulae sheet, the volume formula for a cylinder is given. The surface area formulae are not given and should be recalled or derived.
