What is the shape of a cross section parallel to the base of a prism?

A cross section parallel to the base of a prism retains the same shape as the base itself. This is because prisms have uniform cross sections along their height, meaning the dimensions and angles of the base are consistent throughout. Therefore, if the base is a triangle, rectangle, or any other shape, the cross section will also be that same shape.


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 shapes don't have lines of symmetry?

Ovals; circles; any circular shape with no edges or corners


What is a set of parallel cross-sections are congruent rectangles?

That's a statement that can apply to any rectangular prism.


Do circles with equal parameters are congruent?

Yes, circles with equal parameters, specifically equal radii, are congruent. This means that if two circles have the same radius, they can be perfectly overlapped without any gaps or overlaps. Congruence in circles is determined solely by their radii, as all circles are similar in shape. Therefore, equal parameters imply congruence.

What is a close shape?

A closed shape is any shape that surrounds an area. This includes polygons (triangles etc.) circles, ovals and any irregular shape


Smallest number of corners of any shape?

0, since there are circles and ovals

Do we need to use circles and rectangles in venn diagram?

No, the sets and subsets can be any shape, but circles and rectangles are neater. Also, circles or rectangles will usually intersect in only one part whereas very wriggly shapes can have multiple intersections.


What is a eight figure?

A 'figure eight' is any shape that loosely, or closely, resembles the shape of 8 - in other words, two conjoined circles, or ovals.


An acr of a circle cut off by the diameter?

idk i hate math and find no need for circles or any type of shape for that fact


Who is the worst mathematician?

Matthew Rupen. He spent three years of research to conclude that circles have the least sides of any visible shape.


What was the size of jesus cross?

The New Testament does not state the dimensions or the shape of the 'cross' used for the Crucifixion. Was it a 'T' or 't' shape? Was it just the top cross section to be nailed to a stationary pole or tree?? No one knows and any answer is pure speculation.


How do you do area compound shape problems?

To solve area problems involving compound shapes, first break the compound shape into simpler geometric figures, such as rectangles, triangles, and circles. Calculate the area of each individual shape using the appropriate formulas (e.g., area = length × width for rectangles, area = 1/2 × base × height for triangles). Finally, sum the areas of the individual shapes or subtract the areas of any missing sections from the total area, depending on the configuration of the compound shape. Ensure to pay attention to any units and convert them if necessary.
