Question

a cylinder is sliced perpendicular to the base. what 2 - dimensional shape do you get? ellipse circle rectangle hexagon multiple choice 1 point a square pyramid is sliced in such a way that it produces two identical 3 - d shapes. what is the 2 - d shape created by the cross section? parallelogram trapezoid triangle square

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze cylinder cross - section

When a cylinder is sliced perpendicular to the base, the height of the cylinder forms one side and the diameter of the circular base forms the other side of the 2 - D shape. So, the cross - section is a rectangle.

Step2: Analyze square pyramid cross - section

When a square pyramid is sliced to produce two identical 3 - D shapes, if the slice is made through the vertex and perpendicular to the base, the cross - section is a triangle.

Answer:

1. C. rectangle
2. C. triangle
