How many vertices does a cylinder have?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the number of vertices in a cylinder. To answer this, we need to recall the geometric properties of a cylinder, particularly how it is defined in terms of its base and top surfaces.
Answer
0
A cylinder has 0 vertices
Answer for screen readers
A cylinder has 0 vertices
More Information
A cylinder is a 3D shape with two parallel circular bases and a curved surface. Vertices are points where two or more edges meet, but since a cylinder has no edges that meet, it doesn't have any vertices.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing edges and vertices between 3D shapes like cylinders and polyhedra like cubes which have well-defined edges and vertices.
