- The first shape is a pyramid intersected by a horizontal plane, resulting in a smaller, similar pyramid on top and a frustum below.
- The second shape is a cube intersected by a horizontal plane, resulting in two rectangular prisms (cuboids).
- The third shape is a pentagonal prism intersected by a horizontal plane, resulting in two smaller pentagonal prisms.
- The fourth shape is a pyramid intersected by a vertical plane, resulting in a triangular cross-section and a remaining irregular polyhedron.
- The fifth shape is a rectangular prism intersected by a vertical plane, resulting in two smaller rectangular prisms.
- The sixth shape is a cylinder intersected by a horizontal plane, resulting in two smaller cylinders.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of geometry cross section worksheet.
