Question

A horizontal slice through a 3-dimensional solid produces the following 2-dimensional shape. Which of the 3-dimensional shapes among the answer choices produces this 2-dimensional shape when sliced horizontally?

Answer 1

Option 2

If you slice a prism/cylinder horizontally, you get the cross section is the base. The only figure with a base of a hexagon is option 2, so the answer is 2.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option "2" because of the following facts:

the first option has the face of a triangle.

the third has the face of a square or a rectangle. (4 sides)

the last option is a cylinder with a face of a circle.

the second has a face of a hexagon.

Therefore the answer is option 2. :)
