What are the formulas for find the surface area of a cone and a cylinder?

The surface area of a cone is A = πrl where l is the slant height of the cone (if you don’t know it, but know the height and radius, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem).
You can find the proof here:

For a cylinder, the surface area is:
A = 2πr² + 2πrh
For the cylinder, we compute [...]

surface area formulas?

Which formulas can be used to find the surface area of a right prism where p is the perimeter of the base, h is the height of the prism, BA is the area of bases, & LA is the lateral area?
there may be more than one right answer.
A. SA = BA + 1/2 ph
B. SA [...]

What is the formulas for determining the lateral area of any prism/regular pyramid/cone/cylinder?

PLEASE HELP! Very important help much appreciated
Hi,
Lateral Area of any prism = perimeter of base x height of prism
Lateral Area of any regular pyramid = ½ x perimeter of base x slant height of pyramid
(Remember: apothem² + height² = slant height²)
Lateral Area of any cone = πrs, where r = radius of base and [...]

what are the formulas to finding the Volume and Area of these shapes: Triangle, Pyrimad, Cone, and Cylindar?

I need to get a better approach towards getting the answer to these types of questions:
~Find the height of a pyramid whose base is a regular nonagon with side length 8 inches and lateral faces are isosceles triangles with legs 30.
~ how do you get the answer to this question..step by step?
volume:
triangle-base x height divide [...]

What formulas should I use to Calculate the Surface area of these figure?

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5233/mathsl.jpg
I just sketched 3 shapes quickly. Im very unsure what formula to use on A and C.
Thanks
A & B:- This figure is formed by 2 right angled triangles and 3 paralellograms
C :- Formed by 4 paralellograms and 2 trapeziums
Formulas:
Area of paralellogram = base * height
Area of triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Ares of trapezium [...]

Help with formulas for circles! Diameter, radius, area and circumference! Please help answer the formulas!?

I need help with these formulas:
What is the formula to finding the area of a circle if all you have to work with is the diameter.
What is the formula to finding the cirfumference of a circle is you only have the radis or diameter?
Please help me, I am confused!!!
2 times radius = diameter [...]

What’s the area and volume formulas for a pentagonal prism?

The area of a regular pentagon is equal to 1.720a (where a= the length of a side), so multiply that by length for volume of a regular prism, or for area, multiply it by 2 and add (5 times [a * L]), where L is the length.
In the case of an irregular pentagonal prism, divide [...]
