I guess 3 . Take these 3 points 2 at a time . These two points would be the diameter of the circle .

...a cylinder...
Circles were drawn by ancient peoples before writing was developed. No one "invented" or "made" the circle from that perspective.
Circles and rectangles are plane (2-dimensional) figures, so it doesn't seem that they can be used to construct solids.
A point is a single spot in space. A line is the connection between two points. A plane is the space made up between three or more lines. A plane has infinite lines and therefore infinite points.
A polyhedron is a 3 dimensional figure made of polygons. A cylinder is made of two circles and a rectangle around the middle. Since circles are not considered polygons (don't have straight edges), a cylinder cannot be a polyhedron. I just had a discussion about this with my math students today.
