You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you want only the lateral area, without bottom base or top base, it would be only 2pi%2Aradius%2Aheight .

If you are only going to include one base, but not the other base
(for example including the bottom base, but not the top base),
you just add the surface area of one base,
pi%2Aradius%5E2 ,
plus the lateral surface,
2pi%2Aradius%2Aheight .
