A cross section of a cylinder along its length is called a rectangle. When a cylinder is cut along its length, the resulting shape is a rectangle with a length equal to the circumference of the cylinder and a height equal to the height of the cylinder. The area of this rectangle represents the lateral surface area of the cylinder.

ReneA cylindrical segment, sometimes also called a truncated cylinder, is the solid cut from a circular cylinder by two (or more) planes.

A cross section of a cylinder along its length has the shape of a?
a rectangle.
What cross-section do you get when you give a vertical cut to a circular pipe?
The answer depends on the orientation of the pipe and the cut. Even if the cut is vertical, it can be along the axis (length) of the pipe, at right angles to it or at a slant. If the cut is along the axis, the cross section will be two rectangles where the length of the rectangle is the length of the pipe and the width is the thickness of the pipe. If the pipe has negligible thickness, this may be taken to be two parallel lines. If the cut is at right angles to the axis then the cross section will be an annulus which, when the thickness is negligible will become a circle. Finally, if the cut is skew, then you will get ellipses which will collapse to a single ellipse for negligible thickness.
What is the length or depth of a rectangular solid?
It is the length along one of its edges.
What is the difference between the cross section of a pyramid and the cross section of a prism?
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
A Rectangle sheet of measurement 44cm X 18 cm is rolled along its length cylinder is formed.What is the radius and height of the cylinder?
Circumference of the circle (18 cm) = 2*pi*radiusRearrange the formula:radius = Circumference/2*piradius = 2.864788976 cm or 3 cm to the nearest cmheight = 44 cm
