Ellipse * * * * * At right angles to the length, it would be a circle. Along the length it would be a rectangle. Only a diagonal cross section would be an ellipse.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a square prism has a square cross section.
A circle, ellipse, truncated ellipse or rectangle - depending on the inclination of the cross section relative to the cylinder.
The radius of a cylinder is half the thickness of its circular cross section.
Technically, no. A cylinder extends in both directions to infinity, but if you consider that it is limited in both directions, then, yes. Also, a cylinder does not necessarily have a round cross section and, if so, then no. Only a right circular cylinder will have a round cross section.
The vertical cross section of a cylinder is a rectangle. It is created by slicing the cylinder along a plane parallel to its base. The resulting shape will have the same height as the cylinder but a width equal to the diameter of the base.
Ellipse * * * * * At right angles to the length, it would be a circle. Along the length it would be a rectangle. Only a diagonal cross section would be an ellipse.
A cylinder has a circular cross-section whereas a cuboid has a quadrilateral cross-section.
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a square prism has a square cross section.
A circle, ellipse, truncated ellipse or rectangle - depending on the inclination of the cross section relative to the cylinder.
The radius of a cylinder is half the thickness of its circular cross section.
The cross section of cylinder along its length (parallel to the axis of symmetry has the shape of a rectangle.
If the cylinder is standing on its flat face, the horizontal cross section is a circle. Otherwise, it is a line or a rectangle.
