Surface Area and Volume of Cylinders

The video tutorial reviews prisms and introduces cylinders, focusing on their consistent cross-sections. It explains how to calculate the surface area of a cylinder, including the use of nets and the importance of understanding dimensions. The tutorial also covers the formulas for area and circumference, and how to adapt calculations for open cylinders.

What is a key characteristic of the cross-section of a prism?

• It is always a circle.

• It is always a curved shape.

• It is always a line.

• It is always a polygon.

How does a cylinder differ from a prism in terms of cross-section?

• A cylinder has a polygonal cross-section.

• A cylinder has a circular cross-section.

• A cylinder has a square cross-section.

• A cylinder has a triangular cross-section.
