The bases of a prism or cylinder are congruent and parallel and they meet the lateral face (cynder) or faces (prism) at right angles. A cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis will, therefore, be a rectangle.

What shape does not have a rectangular cross section?

A cylinder does not have a rectangular cross section. Its cross sections are circular, regardless of the angle at which it is cut, as long as the cut is parallel to the base. Other shapes, like spheres or cones, also lack rectangular cross sections.


What shapes have the cross section as a circle?

Shapes that have a circular cross-section include cylinders, spheres, and cones. In a cylinder, each cross-section parallel to the base is a circle, while a sphere has circular cross-sections at any plane that intersects it. A cone also has circular cross-sections parallel to its base, becoming smaller as it approaches the apex.


What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?

A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.


What is the 2d parallel shape that's a cross section of a cylinder?

The 2D parallel shape that represents a cross section of a cylinder is a circle. When a cylinder is sliced parallel to its base, each cross section reveals a circular shape, regardless of where the cut is made along the height of the cylinder. This circular cross section maintains the same diameter as the bases of the cylinder.


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.

How is a cylinder like a prism?

Both, a cylinder and a prism have two faces (bases) at either end. These are parallel and identical. A plane that is parallel to these bases will cut the cylinder (or prism) in identical cross sections.


What describes all cross sections of a square pyramid where the intersecting plane is parallel 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.

How is a cylinder and triangular prism alike?

because the cylinder has a circular base and a triangular prism has a triangular base so they are both basic shapes.


Are all cross section shapes that are parallel or perpendicular to one of the vase of a?

No, not all cross-section shapes that are parallel or perpendicular to one of the bases of a solid are necessarily the same. The shape of the cross-section depends on the geometry of the solid. For example, in a cylinder, the cross-sections parallel to the bases are circular, while in a prism, they may be polygonal. Each solid can produce different cross-sectional shapes based on its specific dimensions and angles.


What is a cross section of a cone?

Circle: If the knife is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.Ellipse: If the knife is between (perpendicular to the axis of the cone) and (parallel to the side of the cone).Parabola: If the knife is between (parallel to the side of the cone) and (parallel to the axis of the cone).Hyperbola: If the knife is parallel to the axis of the cone.Triangle: If the knife is perpendicular to the base of the cone.Point: If the knife is parallel to the base the cone and through the apex
