The bare term cylinder often refers to a solid cylinder with circular ends perpendicular to the axis, that is, a right circular cylinder, as shown in the figure. The cylindrical surface without the ends is called an open cylinder. The formulae for the surface area and the volume of a right circular cylinder have been known from early antiquity.
Example: net of uniform enneagonal prism (n = 9) In geometry , a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n -sided polygon base , a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces , necessarily all parallelograms , joining corresponding sides of the two bases.

Wulff net or stereonet, used for making plots of the stereographic projection by hand The generation of a Wulff net (circular net within the red circle) by a stereographic projection with center C and projection plane . Stereographic projection plots can be carried out by a computer using the explicit formulas given above.
A frustum's axis is that of the original cone or pyramid. A frustum is circular if it has circular bases; it is right if the axis is perpendicular to both bases, and oblique otherwise. The height of a frustum is the perpendicular distance between the planes of the two bases.
b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, ... Right circular solid cone: r = the radius of the cone's base h = the distance is from base to the apex ...
Net In geometry , the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid , one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces . It has a total of 62 faces: 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, with 60 vertices , and 120 edges .
In his 1619 book Harmonices Mundi, Johannes Kepler observed the existence of the infinite family of antiprisms. [1] This has conventionally been thought of as the first discovery of these shapes, but they may have been known earlier: an unsigned printing block for the net of a hexagonal antiprism has been attributed to Hieronymus Andreae, who died in 1556.
