Question

Item 12 What is the shape of the cross section of the cylinder in each situation? Drag and drop the answer into the box to match each situation. Cylinder is sliced so the cross section is parallel to the base. Cylinder is sliced so the cross section is perpendicular to the base.

Answer 1

Answer:circle/rectangle

Step-by-step explanation: cylinder is sliced so the cross section is parallel to the base = circle

cylinder is sliced so the cross section is perpendicular to the base=rectangle

Answer 2

You can build a cylinder in two ways: either you draw a circle on a plane, and "raise" it perpendicularly to the plane itself, or you start with a rectangle, and rotate it around one of its sides.

For these reasons, if you cut the cylinder with a plane parallel to the base you have a circular cross section, while if you cut the cylinder with a plane perpendicular to the base you have a rectangular cross section.
