Answer:
I take the thread and wrap it round the cylinder until it goes round the circumference of the cylinder.
Explanation:
I take the thread and wrap it round the cylinder until it goes round the circumference of the cylinder.
I then cut the thread at this length and extend it out on a table or floor.
I then place the length of the thread along the meter rule and mark of the position of its tip and bottom along the meter rule.
The difference between the bottom and top points is the circumference of the cylinder.
If the thread is longer than the meter rule, i mark off where the the length of the meter rule stops along the thread and then place the meter rule at that point and then mark off where the length of the thread stops.
The circumference of the cylinder is then 1 meter plus the extra measurement along the meter rule.
