Lesson 5

When you take a rectangular shape and rotate it 3600,

it will form the shape of a cylinder.

 Right circular
cylinder Cylinder Facts
1. It has a flat base and a flat top.

2. The base is the same as the

top and also in-
between.
3. It has one curved surface.

A right circular cylinder

is a cylinder where the
axis is perpendicular to
its base.

When we increase the number of sides of the
prism base, the shape of the prism becomes more
and more rounded to be like a cylinder.
The volume of the prism then is similar to
the volume of the cylinder
