Question

which solids have the same types of vertical cross sections through the base?
o a rectangular prism and a cylinder
o a rectangular prism and a cone
o a cylinder and a cone
o a cylinder and a pyramid

Explanation:

• A rectangular prism has vertical cross - sections through the base that are rectangles.
• A cylinder has vertical cross - sections through the base that are rectangles (when the cross - section is parallel to the axis of the cylinder).
• A cone has vertical cross - sections through the base that are triangles (when the cross - section passes through the vertex).
• A pyramid has vertical cross - sections through the base that are triangles (when the cross - section passes through the apex).

Answer:

a rectangular prism and a cylinder
