The shape which is formed when a plane cuts through a cone parallel to its base is circle.
How cross-section formed by intersection of plane with solid?
When a 2 dimensional plane figure at any angle is intersected, a solid object, a cross-section is formed. The shape of this cross-section is based on the type of plane, its angle of intersect and type of solid.
A plane cuts through a cone parallel to its base. The following shape is formed with this intersection:
- The base of the cone is circular in shape.
- This plane which is parallel to the circular base cuts the cone.
- The resultant shape formed with this plane is also a circle in shape.
Thus, the shape which is formed when a plane cuts through a cone parallel to its base is circle.
