What is a Cylinder?

What is a cylinder?

Summary

  1. Cylinders are solid three dimensional shapes
  2. The bases are parallel circles
  3. 'Parallel bases' just means that if the bases extended on forever, they'd never intersect
  4. The bases are like parallel lines in 2 dimensions!
  5. The bases are congruent, which means they are the same size and shape
  6. The curved side goes around the edges of the circles, connecting the bases together

Notes

    1. 'Parallel bases' just means that if the bases extended on forever, they'd never intersect
    2. The bases are like parallel lines in 2 dimensions!
    1. Congruent circles have the same radius, circumference, and area
    2. The curved side goes around the edges of the circles, connecting the bases together
