The meaning of CYLINDER is the surface traced by a straight line moving parallel to a fixed straight line and intersecting a fixed planar closed curve. How to use cylinder in a sentence.
A cylinder is defined as a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through a fixed plane curve in a plane not parallel to the given line. Such cylinders have, at times, been referred to as generalized cylinders.
A three-dimensional surface or solid object bounded by a curved surface and two parallel circles of equal size at the ends. The curved surface is formed by all the line segments joining corresponding points of the two parallel circles.
Cylinder Definition. A cylinder is a 3D solid shape that consists of two identical and parallel bases linked by a curved surface. These bases are like circular disks. The line passing from the center or joining the centers of two circular bases is called the axis of the cylinder shape.
Definition. In mathematics, a cylinder is a three-dimensional solid that holds two parallel bases joined by a curved surface, at a fixed distance. These bases are normally circular in shape (like a circle) and the center of the two bases are joined by a line segment, which is called the axis.
