Question

27
if the given figure is sliced through points j, k, and l, which best describes the shape of the resulting cross - section?
a. rectangle
b. triangle
c. trapezoid
d. parallelogram

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the cross-section edges

When slicing through J, K, L, we observe two pairs of sides: one pair is parallel (the segment connecting J to the corresponding edge near L, and the segment through K), while the other pair of sides is not parallel.

Step2: Match to quadrilateral types

A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides, which matches the shape formed by the slice.

Answer:

C. trapezoid
