There is no difference between "total area" and "surface area" and your assertion that the "surface area" of a cylinder is 2pi rh is incorrect. That is the "lateral surface area". The ends of a cylinder are as much "surface" as the lateral surface. Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/surface-area-and-total-area.6914/

@pooja195 WHAT??? can you just answer me yes or no? Cuz I have a question asking for the lateral surface area, is lateral surface area a longer way of say lateral area??????????????????

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

Do they essentially say the same thing? @pooja195, hey I need your help and you just leave?
