How to generate 3D surface from 2D graph

Hi everyone, I am trying to generate a 3D surface from a 2D graph, but haven't succeeded yet. Please help me if there is any possible way to do it. I have attached the code, the equation, corresponding 2D graph, and possible shape which i want to generate. Thank you in advance.

code:
a=0:0.1:2.4
c=sqrt(a.^2+4)
p=23e-7./(c.^6)
plot(a,p)
xlabel('Distance')
ylabel('power')

Try using the cylinder() function, though that only works if you are rotating about the x-axis to generate your 3D surface.

[Chunru]

a = (0:0.1:2.4)'; 
theta = 0:360;


c=  sqrt(a.^2+4);
p = 23e-7./(c.^6);

pp = repmat(p', [length(theta) 1]);
[aa, tt] = meshgrid(a, theta);
xx = aa.*cosd(tt);
yy = aa.*sind(tt);

figure
plot(a,p)
xlabel('Distance')
ylabel('power')

% whos
figure
surf(xx, yy, pp, 'EdgeColor', 'none')

% Alternatively
a = (-2.4:0.1:2.4)'; 
x = a; y = a;
[xx, yy] = meshgrid(x, y);
pp = 23e-7./(xx.^2+yy.^2+4).^3;

figure
surf(xx, yy, pp, 'EdgeColor', 'none')
