Types of Cylinders

Let Us Learn About Types of Cylinders


There are two types of cylinders.


Right Circular Cylinder: When the base of a right cylinder is a circle, it is called a right circular cylinder.




Oblique Cylinder: When the centers of the bases of a cylinder are not aligned directly one above the other, it is called an oblique cylinder.



Examples:


Right Cylinder: A right cylinder is a cylinder in which the centers of the bases are aligned dire ctly one above the other.


In the figure, r = radius of the base and h= height of the cylinder

A cylinder is mainly referred to a Right circular cylinder , if specifically not mentioned of t he type.

Weight of the cylinder

Let Us Learn About Weight of the cylinder

Introduction to Weight of the cylinder:

Cylinder is the three dimensional figure. Weight of the cylinder is same as the volume of the cylinder. The formula to find the weight of the cylinder is pi * radius2 * height. Height is the total height of the cylinder and radius is the radius of the circular face which is at the bottom and top of the cylinder.


Some basic concepts of a Cylinder:


A cylinder is a basic geometric shapes which is curvilinear.

It has two congruent and parallel bases and is a three-dimensional geometric figure that. Its bases are circles rather than polygons.


The cylinder is similar to a prism, it has two faces, zero vertices, and zero edges

The line formed by the centers of the bases of a cylinder, which coincides with the Altitude of the cylinder.

Any solid which is enclosed within the surfaces and two planes perpendicular to the axis is called a cylinder.

In the figure, h = the height and r = the radius of the circular base.


Altitude:



Altitude is the height of the cylinder measured between the two bases.

Introduction to altitude cylinder:


A cylinder is one of the curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by two planes perpendicular to the axis is also called a cylinder. The surface area and the volume of a cylinder have been known since deep antiquity. Its cross section is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola is called an elliptic cylinder, parabolic cylinder, or hyperbolic cylinder

circumference of a cylinder

Let Us Learn About circumference of a cylinder


Introduction for circumference of a cylinder:


A cylinder is a 3-D geometry with two circular surfaces and one curved surface. Let us know how the surface area of a cylinder or circumference is determined. Cylinder has height and radius. The cylinder has two bases, the base has radius r.


Formula for finding circumference of a cylinder.

Circumference of cylinder = 2 x π x r(r + h)

Introduction to Cylinder volume:


A Cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by this surface and by two planes perpendicular to the axis is also called a cylinder.


The surface area and the volume of a cylinder have been known since deep antiquity. In this article of cylinder volume, finding volume of the cylinder is explained.


Formula for Finding Volume of Cylinder:


The diagrammatic representation of a cylinder is shown below:


Formula for finding volume of a cylinder:

Volume of a cylinder = r2 h

where, r ----> radius

h----->height

In differential geometry, a cylinder is defined more broadly as any ruled surface spanned by a one-parameter family of parallel lines. A cylinder whose cross section is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola is called an elliptic cylinder, parabolic cylinder, or hyperbolic cylinder. A prism is a cylinder whose cross-section is a polygon.

A cylinder is one of the most curvilinear basic geometric shapes:It has two faces, zero vertices, and zero edges. The surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by this surface and by two planes perpendicular to the axis is also called a cylinder. The surface area and the volume of a cylinder have been known since deep antiquity.

Solid line measuring jars, circular pillars, circular pencils, Circular pipes, road rollers and gas cylinders are said to have a cylindrical shape.


There is no edge for the cylinder.

Pascal’s triangle

Let Us Learn about Pascal's triangle.

The coefficients of the expansions are arranged in an array. This array is
called Pascal’s triangle.

One of the most interesting Number Patterns is Pascal's Triangle (named after Blaise Pascal, a famous French Mathematician and Philosopher).

Patterns Within the Triangle

Binomial Coefficient

Let Us Understand What Is Binomial Coefficient.

the binomial coefficient  \tbinom nk is the coefficient of the x k term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x) n.

A binomial coefficient equals the number of combination of r items that can be selected from a set of n items. It also represents an entry in Pascal's triangle. These numbers are called binomial coefficients because they are coefficients in the binomial theorem.

Example:
