question 6 of 10
which of the following choices describe the bases of a cylinder?
check all that apply.
a. parallel
b. polygons
c. congruent
d. discs

Explanation:

• Option A: The bases of a cylinder are parallel. In a right - circular cylinder (the most common type), the two circular bases are parallel to each other.
• Option B: The bases of a cylinder are circles. A circle is not a polygon (a polygon has straight sides). So, this option is incorrect.
• Option C: The bases of a cylinder are congruent. Since a cylinder has two circular bases of the same size, they are congruent.
• Option D: The bases of a cylinder are discs. A disc is a circular region (a circle and its interior). The base of a cylinder is a circular region (a disc).

Answer:

A. Parallel, C. Congruent, D. Discs
