Circumference of a Cylinder Calculator

Welcome to the Omni circumference of a cylinder calculator, a convenient and easy-to-use tool to help you determine what is the circumference of a cylinder. Are you wondering how to find the circumference of a cylinder? Or maybe you're just interested in what is the circumference of a cylinder in general?

Regardless, grab your ruler or a measuring tape, and the circumference of a cylinder calculator will do the calculations for you!

Let's start from the beginning - what is circumference? The circumference is a linear distance around the edge of a circle or ellipse. Since a cylinder's cross-section is a circle, you can calculate the circumference of a cylinder using the following formula:

cylinder_circumference = 2 * π * cylinder_radius

or

cylinder_circumference = π * cylinder_diameter

Let's put the formula for the circumference of a cylinder in perspective. Suppose the radius of a cylinder is 5 cm. To calculate the circumference of a cylinder, you have to multiply five by two and by pi, which equals approximately 31.41 cm.

Now that you know how to find circumference of a cylinder, check out other cylinder-related calculators that may come in handy:

• Cylinder volume gallons calculator;
• Cubic inches of a cylinder calculator;
• Cubic feet of a cylinder calculator;
• Diameter of a cylinder calculator;
• Lateral surface area of a cylinder calculator; and
• Cubic yards in a cylinder calculator.

To find the diameter of a cylinder from the circumference of a cylinder:

1. Take the circumference of a cylinder;
2. Divide the circumference by pi; and
3. Voila! You have the diameter of a cylinder.

To calculate the volume of a cylinder given the height and circumference:

1. Divide the circumference of a cylinder by two times pi;
2. Square the number you computed in Step 1;
3. Multiply the number in Step 2 by pi and the height of a cylinder; and
4. Ta-da! You have calculated the volume of a cylinder.
