O A. Congruent discs
OB. Similar discs
OC. Similar polygons
O D. Congruent polygons

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Similar discs

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions

Cone: A three-dimensional solid figure that has a circle at one end (the "base"), a point at the other end (the [tex]\sf a\:\!pex[/tex]), and a curved side.

Right Cone:  A cone where the [tex]\sf a\:\!pex[/tex] is aligned on the center of the base.

Oblique Cone:  A cone where the [tex]\sf a\:\!pex[/tex] is not centered over the base.

Horizontal Cross-section: The intersecting plane parallel to the base of the solid figure.

Congruent:  The same shape and size.

Similar:  When one shape can become the other after being resized, reflected, translated or rotated.

Disc: The region in a plane bounded by a circle.

Polygon: A two-dimensional closed shape with a minimum of 3 straight sides.

Therefore, the horizontal cross-sections of an oblique cone are similar discs.
