Exploring 3D Figure Slicing Techniques

The video tutorial explores various 3D solids, including cylinders, cubes, square pyramids, triangular prisms, and rectangular prisms. Using play-doh, the instructor demonstrates how to slice these solids both perpendicularly and parallel to their bases. The resulting 2D shapes from these cuts are shown, such as rectangles, squares, and triangles. The tutorial aims to help students visualize and understand the cross-sections of different 3D shapes.
