Answer 2

Answer:

• SOLID CYLINDER
• SOLID CYLINDER

Step-by-step explanation:

• While playing carrom we make the pile of the pieces one on the top of the other and thus making a shape in the form of a VERTICAL SOLID CYLINDER. This shape has the base diameter same as the diameter of any piece.
• In the similar manner, if we place a number of CDs or the round biscuits one over the another what we get is the shape of a cylinder standing upright vertically. Therefore, the shape we get is called as a SOLID CYLINDER.
