Qur main interest is to study extremal properties (the maximum and the minimum) of geometrical characteristics such as surface area, volume, and perimeter length in the space of all of these solids. When n = 2, we show that the classical Viviani's solid enjoys an extremal property. When n = 3, by restricting the space so that it becomes compact, we show that geometrical charcteristics have extremes when and only when two of radii of cylinders are equal each other.}, pages = {45--52}, title = {Generalized Viviani's Solid}, volume = {63}, year = {} }
