Question

Which could be the base shape of the cylinder?

A). line
B). non-square rectangle
C). circle
D). square

Answer 1

The base shape of a cylinder is a circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape that has two congruent circular bases and a curved surface connecting the two bases. The base shape of a cylinder is a circle (option C). Bases are the flat, bottom surfaces of a solid shape, so the base shape is what the solid shape would sit on if it were placed on a flat surface.

For example, if you have a drinking glass, the bottom of the glass is a circle, which is the shape of the base of a cylinder.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) circle.
