Question

Which always yields a cross section that is the same shape and size as the base of the figure?

Answer 1

The best answer would be c. because the cross section would make the shape and the dimension of the shape. hope this help*)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is:

C.) A triangular prism when sliced parallel to its base.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a triangular prism consists of 2 triangular shapes and three rectangular shapes.

• We know that we can never obtain a cross-section similar to the base when the slicing is done perpendicular to it's base.

• We know that when we slice a triangular pyramid parallel to the base than we will obtain a triangle of smaller dimensions.

• But when we slice a triangular prism parallel to the  base than we obtain a cross-section that is similar to the base of a triangular prism.

Hence, the correct answer is Option: C)
