Introduction to the Volume of a Cylinder — Quiz

Question 6 • Foundations of Math 1

Which statement is true about all cylinders?

Answer
A
The height is a vertical distance.
B
The diameter of a base is less than the height.
C
The radii of both bases are the same.
D
The area of a base is greater than 1 square unit.

Explanation

A cylinder has two congruent, parallel bases, so their radii are the same. The height is the perpendicular distance between the bases, which need not be vertical, and a cylinder’s diameter need not be less than its height. The base area can also be smaller than 1 square unit.
