The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is?
A prism. A prism is named for its base, eg a triangular prism has a triangle for the base. If the base is a circle, the circular prism is called a cylinder.
Which term best describes the point line or curve defined by the intersection of a cone and a plane?
It is the base of the cone
What describes all cross sections of a square pyramid where the intersecting plane is parallel to the base?
All cross sections of a square pyramid that are parallel to the base are squares
What is the vertices of a square?
a. the point farthest from the base: the vertex of a cone or of a pyramid. b. a point in a geometrical solid common to three or more sides. c. the intersection of two sides of a plane figure.
What is the area of a trapezoid?
The area of a trapezoid = 1/2 (altitude)(base 1 + base 2) *altitude can also be called the height, or the spacing between the parallel sides. Base 1 is the length of one of the parallel sides, and base 2 is the length of the other parallel side.
What solid has cross sections parallel to the base?
Every solid. All you need is the intersection with a plane parallel to the base.
Right circular cone is intersected by a plane that is parallel to one edge of the cone?
I'm assuming you are looking for the name of the conic section produced by this type of intersection? If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane parallel to one edge of the cone, the resulting curve of intersection would be a parabola. If the intersecting plane was parallel to the base, it would be a circle. If the intersecting plane was at any angle between being parallel to the base and being parallel to an edge, it would produce an ellipse or part of an ellipse (depending on whether the intersection was completely within the cone).
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 is produced when you slice a cone with a that is parallel to the base of the cone?
The interception of a plane with a cone parallel to the base of the cone is a circle.
Produced when you slice a cone with a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone?
A circle.
What does a plane that cuts through a square pyramid parallel to its base result to?
It creates a trapezium frustum.
The intersection of a plane and cone?
If it's parallel to the base, it's a circle. If it doesn't go through the base, it's an ellipse. If it's does, it's hyperbolic/parabolic.
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 produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only the nappe of the cone and is not parallel to the base?
This is called an ellipse.
N function is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone?
This kind of conic section is a circle
The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is?
A prism. A prism is named for its base, eg a triangular prism has a triangle for the base. If the base is a circle, the circular prism is called a cylinder.
What is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone?
That conic section is a circle.When you slice a cone with a plane parallel to the base of the cone, the sliced section is a circle, and the portion of the original cone on the side of the vertex is again a cone.An isosceles cone would be the out come
