Can you help me with the name of this shape please?

Post by tense »

My DS (aged 9) wants to know what you call a 3D shape that looks like a tyre but has got a flat top & bottom, ie, not a slight dent where the hub caps go.

I haven't got a clue - and as I can't really describe it trying to look on the internet hasn't helped :roll:

I'm hoping someone on here will know what I'm getting at & be able to tell me!

Thanks.
