No, a cylinder is not a polygon. It is not a polygon because it has curved sides. In order to be considered a polygon, it would need to have flat sides.
Also, a polygon is a 2 dimensional shape but a cylinder is a three dimensional shape.
Cylinder is not a polygon as it is a 3 dimensional object.
The simple answer is no, because it has a curved surface. A polyhedron is made up of polygons. The curved portion of a cylinder is not a polygon. The circular faces are not polygons either, as they do not have at least 3 sides. This information provided by my 11 yr old Son. He's pretty smart.
No it CANT be a polygon because its open a polygon has to be close
A convex polygon
an irregular polygon is a polygon that is the opposite of a regular polygon in a regular polygon the sides are the same and the angles are the same and irregular is the opposite.
Cylinder is not a polygon as it is a 3 dimensional object.
A cylinder is a polygon that has circles as its base. A triangular pyramid is a polygon that has a triangle as its base.
circle and a cylinder
it is regular
No, a cylinder is not an irregular polygon. A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface. In contrast, polygons are two-dimensional shapes made up of straight line segments. Therefore, while a cylinder may have polygonal elements (the circles), it is not classified as a polygon itself.
It could be a cylinder or a cuboid
It is a cylinder (or could depend)
A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape defined by two congruent circular bases that are parallel to each other. The sides of the cylinder are perpendicular to these bases, forming a curved surface. When considering a polygon inscribed in the cylinder, the polygon's vertices would be located on the circular bases, and its sides would be parallel if it is a regular polygon. Thus, the choices describing this scenario would include terms like "congruent bases," "parallel sides," and "polygonal cross-sections."
A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.
No, a prism has flat sides. Triangular prisms are very common, but any polygon can be the cross section of a prism.

yes - one criterion of a polygon is being made up of only straight lines. polygons are also 2-dimensional. a cylinder is neither of these two things, as it is 3-dimensional (has length, width, and depth) and its two bases are circles, which are curved.
