Exploring Slicing Three-Dimensional Figures

What 2D shape results from slicing a cylinder parallel to its base?

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Triangle

• Square

If a cylinder is sliced from top to bottom, perpendicular to its base, what shape is seen?

• Trapezoid

• Ellipse

• Rectangle

• Circle

What shape is obtained by slicing a square pyramid parallel to its base?

• Square

• Triangle

• Circle

• Rectangle

Slicing a square pyramid perpendicular to its base results in which shape?

• Triangle

• Rectangle

• Square

• Circle

How does the orientation of the geometric plane affect the resulting shape?

• It changes the color of the shape

• It does not affect the shape

• It can change the shape entirely

• It only affects the size of the shape

Which shape can be produced by slicing a solid figure diagonally?

• Rectangle

• Square

• Ellipse

• Circle

What is another possible shape when slicing diagonally, besides an ellipse?

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

• Triangle

• Circle

Why is understanding the 2D shapes from slicing 3D figures important?

• For geometry and practical applications

• Only for mathematicians

• It is not important

• For artistic purposes
