a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a right angle to the bases
Example
The right circular cylinder has a curved surface that can be unrolled into a rectangle when flattened.
In the experiment, we filled a right circular cylinder with water to measure its capacity.
A can of soda is an example of a right circular cylinder, with its height corresponding to the length of the can and its radius to the radius of the circular top.
