Shape A is a cylinder

  • Cylinder is circular in shape from base.
  • It remains circle till the top

So cylinder has uniform cross section

#2

Pyramid's base is a square.

Its shape changes from bottom to top.

So it doesn't have uniform cross section

Answer:

Sam is right. shape A which is cylinder has uniform cross section.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is uniform cross section?

uniform cross section is when cut through an object and the bases are similar.

solution:

For cylinder:

when we cut a cylinder, its in a circle shaped and have similar bases - thus have uniform cross section.

For pyramid:

when we cut a pyramid it is in rectangle shape and this changes as we go up or down the pyramid and does not have uniform cross section.
