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.
How do you carve a cube to make a square pyramid?
Suppose the top face of the pyramid is ABCD with the square EFGH directly below it.Suppose AC and BD meet at P, the apex of the pyramid.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to AB and goes through EF.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to BC and goes through FG.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to CD and goes through GH.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to DA and goes through HE.The result will be the square-based pyramid PEFGH.
How do you divide a ball into fourths?
Cut it in half through its centre. Then cut each half into half. You will have four fourths.
How do you make 8 pieces in a square with only 3 straight slices?
Cut the square into two. Put one part on top of the other. Cut through both parts with your second slice. Stack the pair of slices on top of the other. Cut through all four with the third cut.
How can you cut a cross section from a cube to make it a triangle?
You would cut off a corner.
