Cylinders
Properties of a Cylinder
• A solid bounded by two parallel circles
r
• The curved section that joins the two circles is
rectangular in shape
• Cylinders can be defined in terms of the radius of h
the circles, r, and the height, h
2 Dimensional Representation
• When taken apart to form a net, the cylinder r
is made up of two circular faces and one
rectangular face
• The dimensions of the rectangle face
are h, the height of the cylinder, by
2𝜋rh , the circumference of the circles h
