A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape characterized by its two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a fixed distance from the center of the bases. Here are some key characteristics of a cylinder: 1. **Bases**: A cylinder has two circular bases that are congruent (the same size and shape) and parallel to each other. 2. **Height**: The height (h) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
