Question

Which of the following are the side view and the top view of a cyclinder?

• A. Square and Circle
• B. Rectangle and Circle
• C. Circle and Circle
• D. Sphere and Circle

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rectangle and Circle

Top view is the view when you see an object from the top and observe a 2D image of a 3D object.

The side view is the view when you see an object from the side and you will observe a 2D image of a 3D object.

Therefore, when you will look at the top of the cylinder you will observe a circle and when you will look from the side you will observe the rectangle.

The following figure illustrates the given explanation.
Thus, side view of a cylinder is a rectangle and top view is a circle in shape.
