Question

An elliptical cylinder is sliced by a plane, as shown in the figure. Among the four given two-dimensional shapes, Which shape is the resulting cross section.?

Answer 1

Shape 3 tell me if im right!

Answer 2

Answer: Shape 3

Explanation:

From the given picture, we can see a cylinder cut by a plane along the diameter or chord of the bases of the cylinder(circle).

Thus it will form a cross section with width as the diameter or chord of the circle and length as the height of the cylinder.

Therefore, the resulting cross section will form a rectangle .

Hence shape 3 (a rectangle) is the shape which is the resulting cross section.
