Question

Identify all the two-dimensional figures that are cross-sections for each of the three-dimensional solids.

Answer 1

Answer:

i. hexagon

ii. triangle

iii. octagon

iv. square

v. pentagon

vi. rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A two-dimensional figure is a flat figure that is described by its length of sides only. It can be obtained from a three dimensional solid when sliced or truncated.

Truncation is the process of cutting a solid with respect to a given plain. Therefore, when a three dimensional solid is truncated, the face forms a two dimensional figure. An example is when a cube is truncated horizontally, a square can be obtained at the surface.
