Answer 2

Explanation:

Yes, a cylindrical shape is the one that would give a circular shadow if held in one way and a rectangular shadow if held in another way. Its circular ends will form a circular shadow when kept in the way of light, whereas its curved sides will give a rectangular shadow

1. An object can form more than one shadow at a time.

2. If an object is illuminated from more than one direction by lights, we can have more than one shadow.

3. For example, if you are lit from two different directions, you will see two shadows.
