Question

rotate the square.
what results when you slice the cylinder on the indicated lines?

Explanation:

Identify the orientation of the slicing planes

The orange dashed lines represent planes that are parallel to the circular bases of the cylinder.

Determine the shape of the cross section

Slicing a cylinder with a plane parallel to its base results in a cross section that is identical in shape and size to the base.

Identify the resulting geometric shapes

Slicing the cylinder along both indicated parallel planes yields two circles (which form the boundaries of the slices) and separates the cylinder into three parts: a smaller cylinder on top, a cylinder in the middle, and a smaller cylinder on the bottom. The cross-sectional shape created by each individual slice is a circle.
