What is a cylinder?
Click to flip
A cylinder is a 3D geometric shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
Click to flip
How do you calculate the volume of a cylinder?
Click to flip
Volume = π × radius² × height
Click to flip
What is the formula for the surface area of a cylinder?
Click to flip
Surface Area = 2πr(h + r)
Click to flip
What is a right circular cylinder?
Click to flip
It's a cylinder where the axis is perpendicular to the bases, both of which are circular.
Click to flip
What distinguishes an oblique cylinder from a right cylinder?
Click to flip
In an oblique cylinder, the axis is not perpendicular to its circular bases.
Click to flip
How do radius and height affect a cylinder's volume and surface area?
Click to flip
Both volume and surface area increase with larger radius and height.
Click to flip
What is the lateral surface area of a cylinder?
Click to flip
Lateral Surface Area = 2πrh
Click to flip
How can cylinders be seen in everyday life?
Click to flip
Examples include cans, tubes, and pipes.
Click to flip
What geometric property is unique to cylinders?
Click to flip
Cylinders have rotational symmetry about the axis.
Click to flip
What real-world applications use cylinders?
Click to flip
Applications include engineering, architecture, and manufacturing.
Click to flip
Can the volume of a cylinder change without altering radius or height?
Click to flip
No, volume solely depends on radius and height.
Click to flip
How do you describe a hollow cylinder?
Click to flip
A hollow cylinder has an internal cavity with an inner and an outer radius.
Click to flip
What is a cylinder's axis?
Click to flip
The line segment joining the centers of its two bases.
Click to flip
How does a cylinder's surface relate to a rectangle?
Click to flip
A cylinder's lateral surface unfolds into a rectangle.
Click to flip
What role does π (pi) play in cylinder calculations?
Click to flip
Pi is crucial for calculating both surface area and volume.
