1. Honors Geometry Section 7.4 Surface Area & Volume of Cylinders

2. A cylinder can be seen as a prism with a circle for the base instead of a polygon. Instead of individual lateral faces, a cylinder has one continuous lateral face.

3. The *axis of a cylinder is the segment joining the centers of the two bases. If the axis of the cylinder is perpendicular to the bases, then the cylinder is a right cylinder. If not, the cylinder is an oblique cylinder.

4. The altitude of a cylinder is defined in the same way as it was for a prism.

5. The formulas for lateral area, surface area and volume for a cylinder are very similar to those of a prism.
