Three-Dimensional Figures and Cross Sections

Question 4 • (OC27) GEO-1206310-S2-Degele-VOL7006P

Which solids can have horizontal cross sections that are circles? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
cones
B
prisms
C
cylinders
D
pyramids
E
spheres

Explanation

A cone can have circular horizontal cross sections parallel to its circular base, and a cylinder’s horizontal cross sections are circles. A sphere’s horizontal cross sections are also circles (except at the very top or bottom, where they are points). Prisms and pyramids have polygonal horizontal cross sections, not circular ones.
