Cross Section and Bases of 3D Figures

How many bases does a triangular prism have?

• 3 rectangular bases

• 2 triangular bases

• 6 bases

• 5 bases

Given a right triangular prism , a cross section is made parallel to the bases. Which of the following statements is true regarding the cross section of the base? (Be careful with what shape the base is!)

• The shape of the cross section is a rectangle.

• The shape of the cross section is a triangle.

• The shape of the cross section is a square.

• The shape of the cross section is a circle.

A cylinder is sliced parallel to its base. What shape does the cross section form?

• Circle

• Rectangle

• Triangle

• Square

How many faces does a triangular prism have?

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

What is a three-dimensional solid with two parallel, congruent circles for bases?

• Cone

• Pyramid

• Cylinder

• Prism

What is the intersection of a solid and a plane called?

• Axis

• Cross section

• Lateral Area

• Surface Area

What is a three-dimensional solid with two parallel, congruent polygons for bases?

• Cylinder

• Prism

• Cone

• Pyramid

Why are Conic Sections given this name?

• They are the cross-sections given when a cone is sliced.

• Because it's part of 'da rules'

• They are the cross-sections given when any 3D image is sliced.

A ​ ​ (a)   is the intersection of a solid and a plane.
