Concept explainers

Cylinders

A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.

Cones

A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.

Q.1: The length of rectangular piece of paper exceeds its breadth by 5cm. If a strip
of 0.5cm wide be cut all round the piece of paper, the area of the remaining part
would be 500 square cms. Find its original dimensions.
