The sort of geometry you need in daily is FLAT or planar geometry. So this was the first sort of geometry developed. To complete this problem mark off 32 inches on a yardstick or with tape on the sidewalk or a floor. Use a protractor to draw an angle of 35 degrees from the end of your tape mark. There should be quite a few triangles that will work.
Parallel means that the lines all go in exactly the same direction.
I thought this information was a little too much for elementary students, so I only included a fragment of the information. Students will have to know what parallel means to find out the answer to this question. A cylinder is not quite a circular prism, but if you take the limiting case of a regular polygon where the number of sides is going to infinity, you will end up with a circle. If you use that circle to generate a prism, you will end up with a cylinder.
