Question

Stefani slices a right rectangular pyramid with a plane and the cross-section is in the

shape of a trapezoid. How does Stefani slice the pyramid?
А
parallel to the base through the vertex
В
perpendicular to the base through the vertex
C parallel to the base but not through the vertex
D perpendicular to the base but not through the vertex

Answer 1

Option D.

Explanation:

If Stefani slices the pyramid

Option A). parallel to the base through vertex, cross section will not be a trapezoid.

Option B). perpendicular to the base through the vertex, cross section will be a triangle.

Option C). parallel to the base but not through the vertex, cross section will be a rectangle.

Option D). Perpendicular to the base but not through the vertex, cross section will be a trapezoid.
