The Theory Of Every Circle Being A Cylinder

What is a circle ?
Would you believe me if I say that circles do not exist ? Everyone will be like
no, circles do exist. First let us see what a circle is

So circle is defined a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of
points equidistant from a fixed point (centre) .

Prerequisite knowledge
So this is a circle as we have learnt in earlier classes.

Area of circle (A) = π r2


When we multiply this area of circle with a height we get

Volume of cylinder (V) = π r H 2


So cylinder is basically a circle with a height.

Explanation

When we draw a circle on paper we call it a circle and not a cylinder because we
consider it does not has height

But technically paper also has a height which is so small that we consider it as
negligible and call it a circle instead of a cylinder.

Conclusion

Since whatever the surface you draw on always has some height maybe very
small but some height so every circle is technically a cylinder.

So this was the theory of every circle being a cylinder. I hope you liked it. Thank
you for reading. 
