What is a cylinder in 2d 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.
