Question

Sonam has a cylindrical-shaped water tank.


What are the top and side views of the tank?

• A. Circle and oval
• B. Circle and circle
• C. Triangle and square
• D. Circle and rectangle

Answer 1

The correct option is D Circle and rectangle

We know that the water tank is cylindrical in shape. So, it has three faces, out of which two are flat circular faces, and the other is a curved face.

If we look at the top face, which is circular and flat, we get only the circular view.


Similarly, if we look from the side, we can view a rectangular shape. This proves that the side view is rectangular.
Hence, the top view is circular and the side view is rectangular.
