question
select the type of cross section formed when a right cone is cut parallel to its base.

answer
pentagon
circle
hexagon
triangle

Explanation:

A right cone has a circular base. When a cut is made parallel to the base, the cross - section will have the same shape as the base. A pentagon is a five - sided polygon, a hexagon is a six - sided polygon, and a triangle is a three - sided polygon. None of these match the shape of the base of a cone.

Answer:

circle
