A cylinder is a shape with two circular ends of the same diameter and straight sides. A tube can also be called a cylinder.

One common example of a cylinder is a soup can or drink can. Other cylinders frequently seen include:

  • candle
  • dowelling (broom handle, shovel handle, and so on)
  • drinking straw
  • kitchen wrap tube
  • pipe (for water, gas, and so on)
  • plastic pen casing
  • towel rail

Of course, some of these are made in shapes other than the cylindrical; let's assume these examples are the sort with circular ends or cross-sections.
