What is the shape of the dark grey area representing the intersection of the plane and the sphere?
We're having a hard time making out the dark grey area from here. But the intersection of a plane and a sphere is always a circle.
What is the intersection of a solid and a plane parallel to the base or bases of the solid?
It is a horizontal cross-section. Its shape will depend on the shape of the solid and its orientation.
What is the shape of the dark area representing the intersectionof the plane and sphere?
The dark area is so dark that I'm unable to see it from here. But I do know that in general, the intersection of a plane and a sphere is a circle.
Is a sphere a plane shape or a solid shape?
plane shape
What plane shape can you get by tracing a sphere?
a circle!

What shape is formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane that is parallel to a cone's base not containing the cone's vertex?
The shape described by the intersection of the cone and the plane is simply a circle.

What shape does the horizontal cross section of a sphere create?
A circle
Explain why the shape of a football is not a polygon?
It has a curved surface.
Is a right triangle a perpendicular shape?
Not necessarily. It is a plane shape which could be horizontal.
What is the shape of the intersection of a cylinder and a plane that is perpendicular to the circular bases?
rectangle
What is the shape of the intersection of a cylinder and a plane that is parallel to one of the cylinders bases?
A circle
What does a sphere with a tangent look like?
If your question is " What is the shape of a sphere's tangent?" , then the answer is : a plane. A plane basically touches the sphere at only one point and hence , it should be a plane. It cannot be a straight line , as a straight line is a tangent for 2D objects,( ie.) a circle.
