Which figure shows how a shape can be rotated about an axis to form a cylinder?
Answer
the rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
the cylinder folds like a circle but it is not a circle.
A rectangular shape can be rotated about an axis to form a cylinder.
A cylindrical shape is a three-dimensional geometrical shape consisting of two parallel circular bases which are connected by some height h.
We know that cylinder has some height h and two base circles.
If we compare the curved part of the cylinder then we can see that its shape is similar to a rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is similar to the circumference of the circular base of a cylinder and the height of the cylinder with the breadth of the rectangle.
Thus, a rectangular shape can be rotated about an axis to form a cylinder.
