Nope.  <just joking>  ;)

Area is in square feet ft^2, volume is in cubit feet or ft^3.

A cylinder with a radius R (measured in feet)
and a height of H (measured in feet) has


        Volume = 3.1415 x R x R x H  (ft^3)

        "two pi R squared times H"


Area of the cylinder side plus the 2 ends -

        Area = the area of the 2 ends plus the area of the cylinder,

        Area = 2 x (3.1415 x R x R)  +  H x (2 x 3.1415 x R) (ft^2)

        You can reduce this monster to the following by factoring
        to get the easier

        Area = 6.283 x R x (R + H)  (ft^2)

        "R plus H times two pi R"

Area of the cylinder side without the ends -

        Area = H x (2 x 3.1415 x R) (ft^2)

        Area = 6.283 x R x H  (ft^2)

        "two pi R times H"
