Cylinder

• A cylinder is a surface generated by a moving straight line (generator) which is parallel to a fixed line and interescts a given surface or curve (guiding curve).

• The equation of the cylinder whose generators are parallel to the line and base conic is , is given by:

+++++

• A right circular cylinder is a cylinder whose generator lines are at a constant distance (radius) from the fixed line (axis).

• The equation of the right circular cylinder with axis as the and radius is given by

• The equation of the right circular cylinder whose radius is and axis the line is given by:
