What is the shape of the cross-section of a circular cylinder?
a circle
What is the definition of a uniform cross-section?
A Uniform Cross Section is the cross section of the solid, parallel to base, such that the resulting figure has the same shape and size as that of the base of the figure.More about Uniform Cross SectionSolids like pyramids and cones have slant heights and hence do not have uniform cross section.Examples of Uniform Cross SectionThe uniform cross section of the given prism is a square.The uniform cross section of the given cylinder is a circle.In short to say, uniform cross-section are when you dissect a 3D solid and you get all same shape (uniform).
What does cylinder mean in math?
A cylinder is a three dimensional shape with a uniform circular cross section and a finite length.
Describe the cross-sections that are formed when a cylinder is intersected by a plane?
In Geometry, cross-section is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. The cross section of a circular cylinder is a circle. * * * * * There are also cross-sections that are ellipses or rectangles.
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.
