Question

a cone is sliced such that the cross section is perpendicular to its base and the cross section intersects its vertex. what is the shape of the cross section? rectangle circle trapezoid triangle

Explanation:

When a cone is sliced perpendicular to its base and the cross - section passes through the vertex, the cross - section is formed by two straight lines (the sides of the cone from the vertex to the base) and the diameter of the base (the base of the cross - section). A shape with three sides is a triangle.

Answer:

triangle
