@iPwnBunnies how do i find the radius of a cylinder with a length of 17.2 and a width of 9.8?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

What do you mean by width?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

That would be the diameter of a slice of a cylinder, in my mind.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Of rectangle........ok i guess then thats what it is

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

o.o I have no idea what you're talking about now. Are we dealing with a cylinder or a rectangular prism?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Pls show me a pic if you have one.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

a cylinder is two circles with a rectangle around it

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

she mentions the length and width of the rectangle

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Err, no. o.o A cylinder is a rod, like this: |dw:1399230173780:dw|

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

What? ._. That makes no sense.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Lol dude

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ooooo, it's like if the rectangular was rolled up to make the body of the cylinder. ;)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

that inbetween the two circles is a rectangle that wraps around it like the label on a can YES

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

So, is the rectangle like this? |dw:1399230363473:dw|
