Question

question 46 of 50
what is this solid?
image of a cylinder-like solid

• right cylinder
• cone
• oblique cylinder

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cylinder types

A right cylinder has its lateral surface perpendicular to the bases. An oblique cylinder has bases parallel but the lateral surface is not perpendicular (the axis is slanted). A cone has a circular base and a single vertex.

Step2: Analyze the solid

The given solid has two circular bases (parallel) and a slanted lateral surface (axis is not perpendicular to bases), so it's an oblique cylinder. The "cone" option is wrong (has one base), "right cylinder" is wrong (lateral surface not perpendicular).

Answer:

C. oblique cylinder
