What is the purpose of slicing three-dimensional solids in industries like ice cream manufacturing?

• To measure the volume of the carton

• To test the distribution of ingredients

• To check the texture of the ice cream

• To design new packaging

Why do diagonal slices of a cylinder not result in circular cross-sections?

• Because the slicing plane only touches the base

• Because the cylinder is not perfectly round

• Because the slicing plane intersects parallel surfaces

• Because the slicing plane intersects non-parallel surfaces
