Based on the calculation, the perimeter of the horizontal cross-section is equal to 36.13 cm.
<h3>How to calculate the perimeter?</h3>In this scenario, the resulting geometrical shape formed when the cut is made at the middle of the height of the trapezoid and then rotated is a circle.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Minor base = 10 cm.
- Major base = 13 cm.
From the middle, the diameter of this circle is given by:
D = 1/2 (10 + 13)
D = 11.5 cm.
Now, we can calculate the perimeter:
Perimeter = πD
Perimeter = 3.142 × 11.5
Perimeter = 36.13 cm.
