Question

Which correctly describes a cross section of the cube below? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

A cross section parallel to the base is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to select the correct  statement regarding a cross section of the cube :

A cross section parallel to the base is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm :

Since , every side of a cube is same  . Any cross section of a cube must be parallel to a square base . Hence, correct statement .

A cross section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 4 cm by greater than 4 cm :

Since , every side of a cube is same  . Any cross section of a cube must be parallel to a square base . Here, base is rectangle . We don't have a rectangle base in cube . Not correct statement.

A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of opposite sides is a rectangle measuring 2 cm by 4 cm:

Since , every side of a cube is same  . Any cross section of a cube must be parallel to a square base . Here, base should be square not rectangle . So ,  Not correct statement.
