Answer 1

The solids which have vertical cross sections that are circles are the spheres ⇒ Last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical cross section of a cone is a triangle

The vertical cross section of a prism is a rectangle

The vertical cross section of a cylinder is a rectangle

The vertical cross section of a pyramid is a triangle

The vertical cross section of a sphere is a circle

The solids which have vertical cross sections that are circles are the spheres

Answer 2

cones

cylinders

spheres

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached with the correct options. Solids are three-dimensional shapes. For any solid the cross-section is the slice that cuts through a solid.

Cone: If you cut the cylinder shown below with a vertical plane, the intersection of this plane and the cylinder will draw a circle. The area of this circle will be the same all along the height of the cylinder. The cross section is shown in yellow.

Cylinder: If you cut the cylinder shown below with a vertical plane, the intersection of this plane and the cylinder will draw a circle. The area of this circle will be the same all along the height of the cylinder. The cross section is shown in yellow.

Sphere: If you cut a sphere by a vertical plane as shown below you will get a cross section that is circula. The area of the circle will vary all along the diameter of the sphere being the maximum area the plane that cuts the sphere at its center. The cross section is shown in gray.
