A 3D shape bounded by two congruent parallel bases connected by a curved surface.
Properties
- Height: The perpendicular distance between the two bases.
- Radius: Radius of the base is the radius of the cylinder.
- Axis: The line segment connecting the centers of the two bases.
- The bases of the cylinder are always congruent and parallel to each other.
Types of Cylinders
- Right Cylinder: Axis is perpendicular to the bases.
- Oblique Cylinder: Axis is not perpendicular to the bases.
- Circular Cylinder: Bases are circular in shape.
- Elliptical Cylinder: Bases are elliptical in shape.
- Right-Circular Cylinder: Axis is perpendicular to the circular bases.
