what figure results from a horizontal cross section of a sphere? rectangle triangle circle trapezoid question 19 4 pts what figure results from a vertical cross section of a rectangular pyramid?
A sphere is a three - dimensional object where all points on its surface are equidistant from its center. When we take a horizontal cross - section (a plane cutting through the sphere parallel to the ground, for example), the set of points of intersection of the plane and the sphere forms a circle. A rectangle has four right - angles and straight sides, a triangle has three sides, and a trapezoid has four sides with one pair of parallel sides. None of these can be formed by a cross - section of a sphere.
