which statement best describes why blair’s claim is incorrect?

• a rectangle is only one component of the composite cross section.
• she confused a parallel cross section with a perpendicular cross section.
• the ... should be three - dimensional and not two - dimen
• she ... ss section of the figure that does not go through apex

part b
complete ... the cross section created when the figure is slic perpendicular ...
the cross ... figure is sliced perpendicular to the base throug apex is a
(options in dropdown: cone, cylinder, pentagon, trapezoid, rectangular prism)

Explanation:

To determine why Blair's claim is incorrect, we analyze the options. The key here is understanding cross - section types (parallel vs perpendicular). When dealing with 3D figures, confusing a parallel cross - section (e.g., a horizontal slice) with a perpendicular cross - section (e.g., a vertical slice) is a common error. The option "She confused a parallel cross section with a perpendicular cross section" directly addresses a typical mistake in analyzing cross - sections of 3D shapes, while the other options either are less relevant (like the rectangle being one component) or incorrect (the combination of figures can have 2D cross - sections, and the last option about not going through the apex is not the main error here).

Answer:

She confused a parallel cross section with a perpendicular cross section.
