Question

How would you describe the slice that created the rectangular cross-section on this cake

Answer 1

perpendicular to the base.

Explanation:

To Find: How would you describe the slice that created the rectangular cross-section on this cake

Solution :

Cross-section : A cross section is the shape we get when cutting straight through an object.

In this case we observed that since the cake is a rectangular prism then the cross section after the cut is rectangular.

Thus we can conclude that cross section is perpendicular to the base of the cake.

Hence Option D is correct.: perpendicular to the base.

Answer 2

For this case we observed that the cross section after the cut is rectangular.
Because the cake is a rectangular prism then:
The cross section is perpendicular to the base of the cake.
Answer:
perpendicular to the base.
