No.

Some of the classic curves studied by mathematicians: ellipses, hyperbola are cross sections of a cone taken at an angle.

If you cut a sphere with a vertical angled and horizontal slide what are the cross sections?

When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.


Describe the cross section of a basketball vertical hortizontal and angled?

They are all circles. The vertical and horizontal have the same radius as the ball while the angled cross section has a smaller radius.


Which Solid congruent horizontal and vertical cross section?

A solid that has congruent horizontal and vertical cross sections is a cylinder. In a cylinder, both the horizontal cross sections (circles) and vertical cross sections (rectangles) maintain consistent dimensions throughout the solid. This property ensures that the shapes formed by slicing the cylinder in any horizontal or vertical plane are always congruent to each other. Other examples include cubes and spheres, but the cylinder specifically illustrates this characteristic well.


What is the cross section of a structural dome most simiar to?

If horizontal, a circle. If vertical, a semi-circle.


What are the vertical and horizontal cross sections of a rectangular pyramid?

The vertical cross sections are trapezia or triangles. The horizontal cross sections are rectangles which are mathematically similar to the base.


What is the vertical cross section of a cone?

The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.


What is the horizontal cross section of a rectangular pryamid?

It is a rectangle which is similar to the base.


Was Jesus crucified on a myrtle tree?

Jesus was crucified on a cross. The main section was vertical and the cross bar was horizontal and a few feet below the top of the main section as we are told that a sign was placed on the cross above His head. We do not know what kind of wood the cross was made of.


How many orders of symmetry does a cross have?

Christian Cross: 1 - Vertical symmetry Maltese Cross: 4 - Vertical, Horizontal and two diagonals


What is the shape of a horizontal cross section of a cylinder?

If the cylinder is standing on its flat face, the horizontal cross section is a circle. Otherwise, it is a line or a rectangle.


What is the vertical cross section of a rectangle?

The vertical cross section of a rectangle is obtained by slicing the rectangle vertically, which results in a shape that retains the same height as the original rectangle but may vary in width depending on where the cut is made. If the cut is made parallel to one of the rectangle's sides, the vertical cross section will be another rectangle. If the cut is made at an angle or through the middle, the resulting shape will depend on the specifics of the cut. Overall, the vertical cross section will always reflect the height of the original rectangle.


What is the horizontal cross section of a cone?
