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.
When a sphere is cut in cross section the shape formed by the cut is?
A circle.
How can you cut a cross section from a cube to make it a triangle?
You would cut off a corner.
What is a cross section?
A cross section imagines what something would look like if you cut it in half (or more or less in half) and looked at the surface that was exposed by the cut.
What 2D shape would you see in the cross section?
The shape of the cross section depends on the 3D object being sliced. For example, if you slice through a cylinder horizontally, the cross section would be a circle. If you cut through a cube diagonally, the cross section could be a triangle or a rectangle, depending on the angle of the cut. Thus, the specific 2D shape observed in the cross section varies based on the object's geometry and the orientation of the cut.
