no, because if you cut it apart and lay it out, it will turn out to be a rectangular object

What is the formula to find the lateral surface area of a cylinder?

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is the area of a rectangle. In other words: when a cylinder is unravelled, you are left with a simple rectangle with width and length. Depending on what kind of cylinder you happen to have, the circumference of the cylinder could be the width or the length. Where you have a short cylinder with a wide mouth, the circumference would become the length and the h would become the w. So, think of a cylinder as a rectangle. Take a piece of paper (rectangular) and bring the ends together. What do you have?: a cylinder. Now - for the formula: Diameter= D, Circumference= C, pi= 3.14 These are the parameters of a circle. Now, in mathematics, the radius of the circle and 2 *Pi is used in order to find the circumference of the circle. So, (D * pi)= 2Pi *r = C Therefore, the circumference or perimeter equals the width and the height or h = length of a rectangle. Now, then: The Formula for the Lateral surface of a cylinder Is: (2*Pi*r)*h= A Remember that the radius is half the Diameter of a circle and must be multiplied by two in order to convert back to D or Diameter. Please, note that ( 2*pi )= 360 degrees, and that it (2*Pi) also represents one whole revolution around the perimeter of a circle. To simplify: Diameter X (3.14) X height = Lateral Area of a cylinder. I hope this is of some help!


What shape could be used for the lateral faces?

Circle and ovals just like an egg and a ball


What would a cylinder be in 2-D?

The answer depends on where a plane cuts through the cylinder. It could be a circle, ellipse, rectangle or square. Not sure what the projection on a plane at an angle to the length of the cylinder would be. A parabola? Plus there are other section where the

How do you find the circumference from the volume?

circumference is the perimeter of a circle. a circle is 2 dimensional. volume is 3 dimensional. you need to state what shape it is. I could guess that you are talking about a cylinder. the volume is pi.r2.h, if you find the radius from the volume, you can find the perimeter of the circle by 2.pi.r


If the view from below the figure is a circle what could the shape be?

Some possible answers: a sphere, a cone, a cylinder, a ellipsoid (end-on), a spiral (like fusili) are some examples.

What kind of unit does a circle have?

A circle can have a unit of length which could be either a measure of its diameter or radius, or of its circumference. Or the circle could have the unit of area.
