Question

A sphere is pictured below. Select the type of cross section formed when the figure is cut by a horizontal plane.

A) circle
B) triangle
C) hexagon
D) rectangle

Answer 1

the answer is A) circle.

Answer 2

A) circle.

When a sphere is cut by a horizontal plane, the resulting cross section is a circle. This is because a sphere is a three-dimensional object that is perfectly symmetrical in all directions, so any plane that intersects it will create a circular cross section.
