Question 8 • *CR CCSS Math 2 S2 [M2960OX]

Which solids have the same types of vertical cross sections through the base?

Answer
A
a rectangular prism and a cylinder
B
a rectangular prism and a cone
C
a cylinder and a cone
D
a cylinder and a pyramid

Explanation

A vertical cross section is made by slicing a solid with a plane perpendicular to its base. A rectangular prism produces rectangular vertical cross sections, and a cylinder also produces rectangular cross sections when sliced vertically. A cone and a pyramid typically produce triangular vertical cross sections, so the matching pair is a rectangular prism and a cylinder.
