8.GM.9 - Unwrapping a Cylinder
A HUGE THANK YOU and CREDIT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to both Bernat and Steve Phelps, who calculated the surface equations for the curved parts of the cylinder's lateral area (during the unwrapping process).
This enhanced version (of this original version) would not have been possible without their insight.
