Cylinder

In Mathematics, a cylinder is one of the basic geometrical shapes. It has two parallel circular bases at a distance which is also called as the height of the cylinder. One of the real-life examples is the LPG cylinder. Having a three-dimensional shape, it has volume and surface area. Coming to the total area of cylinder, it is equal to the sum of its curved surface area and area of the two circular bases.

Here we will discuss the formulas, definitions, surface area of a cylinder, properties of the cylinder, the volume of a cylinder, and so on.  Some examples will be provided that would consist of questions and answers so that students can benefit a lot out of it.
