The cross section would be a semicircle because a cross section of the whole thing would be a circle

Hope this helps

Answer:

When the vertical plane intersects the given three-dimensional object in the image and divides the object into equal halves then the shape of cross-section so obtained would be a :

Semicircle.

Explanation:

As we know that the figure is made up by piling different circles over each other i.e. when any plane will cut the figure horizontally then we will always obtain a circle.

Hence, when this figure is cut by a vertical plane then each of the circle will be cut into half this means that we will obtain a semicircle as a cross-section.

( Since the half of a circle is always a semicircle )
