A right rectangular pyramid is sliced vertically (down) at the red line by a plane not passing through the vertex of the pyramid
1 answer:
The cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid will be shaped similar to the base, that is, a <u>rectangle</u>. Hence, <u>4th option</u> is the right choice.
If the peak of the rectangular pyramid is directly above the center of the base, it creates a perpendicular to the base, indicating the height of the pyramid. This type of rectangular pyramid is known as the right rectangular pyramid.
A rectangle is a quadrilateral, that is a closed figure with 4 line segments, with all four interior angles at 90°.
When we slice a right rectangular pyramid vertically down at the red line by a plane, not passing through the vertex, of the pyramid will be a dilated image of its base.
A dilated image is an enlarged or diminished image of the preimage, similar with all angles.
Thus, the cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid will be shaped similar to the base, that is, a <u>rectangle</u>. Hence, <u>4th option</u> is the right choice.
