Default A question regarding electric field intensity due to infinite sheet?

In the problem of finding electric field intensity due to infinite sheet we consider an

imaginary hollow cylinder that passes across the sheet and measure electric field through

these three regions or surfaces my question is why the cylinder is considered in such a

way that its passes trough two sides why a cylinder is not considered which start from

sheet and move away (outside) only one side.
