What 3 solids have a circle as a horizontal cross section?

cone


Would the horizontal cross section of a cone be congruent to its base?

No because it would be smaller.


Does a cross section always have to be horizontal or vertical?

No. Some of the classic curves studied by mathematicians: ellipses, hyperbola are cross sections of a cone taken at an angle.


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.

Circle


What is the horizontal cross section of a rectangular pryamid?

It is a rectangle which is similar to the base.


What is the parallel cross section of a cone?

The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.


What would a cone look like if it was cut horizontally?

It depends how the cone was standing relative to the horizontal plane of the cut:It will result in:a circle (if the cone is with its circular base in a horizontal plane)a parabola (if the cone is with its circular base is in a vertical plane)an ellipse (if the cone is tilted with its circular base somewhere between a horizontal plane and a vertical plane).


What is the horrizontal cross section of a cone?

If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
