question 16 of 42
what shape is the cross - section of the cube when sliced parallel to its base?
a. circle
b. triangle
c. square
d. pentagon

Explanation:

A cube has square faces. Slicing parallel to its base (a square face) results in a cross - section with 4 equal - length sides and 4 right angles, which is a square. A circle has no straight sides, a triangle has 3 sides, and a pentagon has 5 sides, so they don't match.

Answer:

C. Square
