Describe the shape that results from a cross section that is parallel to the base of a right cylinder.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Circles

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a soup can sitting on its base on a kitchen counter.  The counter is an example of a plane (through) parallel to the base.  The points where the can and counter intersect form a circle.  Put a book on top of the can.  Again, the plane of the book is parallel to the base and the book and can intersect in a circle.

The same thing would happen if you cut the can open with a plane anywhere in between the two mentioned above, but it would make a mess!

The answer is circles. If you cut this shape in half you will get two circles.
