In this program we explore the properties of three-dimensional figures. We do this in the context of two real-world applications. In the first, we look at the three-dimensional structure of Mayan pyramids. These stair-step structures provide a unique opportunity to also explore sequences and series. In the second application we look at the Shanghai Tower as an example of cylindrically shaped structures.

Definition

A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric figure with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a fixed distance from each other.

Description

In the realm of three-dimensional geometry, a cylinder is a fundamental shape characterized by its two identical, parallel circular bases and a curved surface that connects these bases. The line segment joining the centers of the bases is called the axis of the cylinder, and it is perpendicular to the bases. The distance between the bases is the height of the cylinder, while the radius is the distance from the center to the edge of the base.

Definition

A horizontal cross-section of a cylinder is the intersection of the cylinder with a plane that is parallel to the base of the cylinder.

Description

In the context of three-dimensional geometry, understanding the concept of cross-sections is crucial. A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface. When a horizontal plane intersects a cylinder, the resulting cross-section is a circle. This concept is not only fundamental in geometry but also has practical applications in various fields.
