GCSE Maths Practice: 3d-shapes-and-nets

Question 9 of 10

Identify the true properties of a cylinder.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following are true about a cylinder?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

\( \text{Two circular faces} \) \( \text{One curved surface} \) \( \text{Three vertices} \) \( \text{Zero edges} \)

Focus on circular faces and the curved surface; ignore vertices.

A cylinder has two circular faces (top and bottom) and one curved lateral surface. It has no vertices and 0 edges along the curved surface. Understanding these features helps in geometry for surface area, volume, and nets. Visualizing the cylinder and labeling each component improves comprehension. Practicing with different 3D solids strengthens spatial reasoning and helps distinguish between flat faces and curved surfaces.
