Question

In the net of a cylinder, one dimension of the rectangle is the same as the circumference of each circular base. Is this true or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at a cylinder, it has be observed that it has 3 parts or 3 shapes to it.

These 3 parts or shapes are referred to as the net of a cylinder.

This 3 parts include

a. A circle at the top

b. A circle at the bottom.

c. A rectangle.

The circle at the bottom gives us the base of the cylinder while the rectangle is curved when forming the cylinder and it is due to this that we have the curved surface area of the cylinder.

It is important to know that there is a relationship between the length of one of the edges of the rectangle and the circumference of the base of the cylinder such that, the length of one of the edges of the rectangle is equal to or equivalent to the circumference of each circular base.
