title	How are the Surface Area and Volume of a Cylinder Affected by Changes in its Linear Dimensions?
description	In this lesson, students use calculations, visualization, and logical reasoning to discover that a wide cylinder has more surface area than a tall cylinder when their volumes are the same. Students will also find that a change in diameter of a cylinder has a greater impact on surface area and volume than a change in height.
