Cylinder
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid that contains two parallel bases connected by a curved surface. The bases are usually circular in shape. The perpendicular distance between the bases is denoted as the height “h” of the cylinder and “r” is the radius of the cylinder.
Top view: When we see the cylinder from the top then it looks like a circle.
Front View: When we see the cylinder from the front view then its looks like a rectangle.
Side View: When we see the cylinder from the side view then its looks like a rectangle.
Visualizing Solid Shapes
Visualizing Solid Shapes: Any plane or any shape has two measurements length and width, which is why it is called a two-dimensional(2D) object. Circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, trapeziums, etc. are 2-D shapes. If an object has length, width, and breadth then it is a three-dimensional object(3D). cube, pyramids, spheres, cylinders, and cuboids are 3-D shapes.
Any kind of solid shape occupies some space. A solid shape or figure is bounded by one or more surfaces. If any two faces of 3-D shapes meet together, we get a line segment which is called an edge when more than two faces of the solid meet at one point then that point is called the vertex of the solid.
In this article, we will study about visualizing solid shapes like cylinders, cubes, spheres, cones, etc, and their properties.
