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
the cylinder has 2 2d shapes: the 2 circles on the end
A cylinder is not a 2D object because it has three dimensions - length, width, and height. It has a circular base and a curved surface, which give it depth. A 2D object would only have two dimensions and would lack any depth or thickness.
a circle is a 2D shape while a cylinder is 3D shape
A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape, not a two-dimensional one. However, if we refer to its 2D representation, it can be visualized as a rectangle (representing the curved surface when unwrapped) and two circles (representing the top and bottom bases). In 2D, the essential characteristics of a cylinder are depicted through these shapes, highlighting its circular bases and height.
2D, a cube would be 3D
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.

There is no such thing.

no, it's a 3D shape. (:

circle, oval
The awnswer before was wrong. I was looking for the2D shape of a cylinder.
1 rectangle and 2 circle.
A rectangle (rolled into a circular shape).
