The net of a cylinder is when each face of the cylinder is drawn, on the same plane, on paper.

The net of a right cylinder is a two-dimensional representation with two circular congruent bases and a rectangular lateral face.

Corps

In general, right cylinders are more commonly used, but oblique cylinders also exist. In this case, the lateral face is not a rectangle.

To see the construction of the cylinder from all angles, you can enlarge, shrink, and rotate the image in the animation.

Corps

Just like other solids with two bases, the height of the cylinder is the distance between the two bases. In this case, it is the distance between the two circles.

  1. The circular base is drawn using the necessary construction tools. For more information, consult the following concept sheet: Constructing a Circle.

  2. Next, perform a translation on the first base.

  3. Connect the two bases by drawing segments, joining the endpoints of the same diameter in each base.

Corps

Following these steps gives us an interesting result.
