Hmmm ... That is the best way to build it.
A circle is the shape which encloses the maximum area for a given perimeter, so you would use less material for the wall.
If something has pressure from the inside, it will take the form of a circle. Similarly, when you blow up a balloon, it takes the shape of a sphere.
If the cross section were say, a square, the walls would bow out (unless they were very strong), and tend to make a circular shape.

What is the difference between a cylinder and a cuboid?
A cylinder has a circular cross-section whereas a cuboid has a quadrilateral cross-section.
Can the cross section of a cuboid be a trapezium?
Not a right cross-section.
How is a sphere is different form an ellipse?
A sphere is three-dimensional whereas an ellipse is two-dimensional. An ellipse can have an oval shape but a cross section of a sphere is always circular.
What Is a cross section of a rectangular prism?
The cross section can be a triangle, rectangle or a hexagon.
Can a cube have an octagonal cross section?
No, a cube cannot have an octagonal cross-section.
What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
What is the shape of the cross-section of a circular cylinder?
a circle
What is the difference between a cylinder and a cuboid?
A cylinder has a circular cross-section whereas a cuboid has a quadrilateral cross-section.
What is the difference between a cylinder and a rectangular prism?
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section.
How is a rectangular prism and a cylinder different?
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
What is the difference between a cylinder and an a square prism?
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a square prism has a square cross section.
What does cone cylinder and a sphere have in common?
A circular cross-section.
What is the similarity among spheres cones and cylinders?
A circular cross-section.
What is the 2d parallel shape that's a cross section of a cylinder?
The 2D parallel shape that represents a cross section of a cylinder is a circle. When a cylinder is sliced parallel to its base, each cross section reveals a circular shape, regardless of where the cut is made along the height of the cylinder. This circular cross section maintains the same diameter as the bases of the cylinder.
What is the horizontal cross section of a Coke?
The horizontal cross section of a Coke can or bottle typically reveals a circular shape. This circular cross section represents the volume of the liquid inside, which is uniform in density and composition. If you were to look at the surface of the liquid, it would appear flat, reflecting the curvature of the container's sides.
What is the radius of a cylinder?
The radius of a cylinder is half the thickness of its circular cross section.
What is a cross section of a right circular cone?
A cross section of a right circular cone is a two-dimensional shape obtained by slicing the cone perpendicular to its axis. Depending on the position of the cut, the cross section can be a circle, an ellipse, or a triangle. If the cut is made parallel to the base, the cross section will be a smaller circle. If the cut is made vertically through the apex and perpendicular to the base, it will form a triangle.
