What is a cylinder?
Notice some important facts about a cylinder:

1. It has a flat base and a flat top
2. The base is the same as the top, and also in-between
3. It has one curved surface, so it is not a polyhedron.

Let's drag the following cylinder so as to view it at different angles. (You can click the button - 'drag' to stop the cone moving and click the button again to resume it moving.)
