To find the lateral surface area of a cylindrical container, we use the formula:

$\text{Lateral Surface Area} = 2 \pi r h$

where:

• $r$ is the radius of the cylinder's base,
• $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

If you provide the values of $r$ and $h$, I can calculate the lateral surface area and find the closest measurement.

Would you like to continue with the calculations?

1. How does the radius affect the surface area of a cylinder?
2. What is the difference between lateral surface area and total surface area of a cylinder?
3. How can the volume of a cylinder be calculated?
4. How would the lateral surface area change if the cylinder’s height doubled?
5. Why is $\pi$ a key factor in circular measurements?

Tip: Knowing the formula for lateral surface area helps solve many cylinder-related problems quickly.
