Diagonal cross section of a cylinder A) triangle Cross section parallel to the base of a cone B) great circle Shape created when a semi–circle is rotated about the y–axis C) circle Diagonal cross section through the widest part of a sphere D) sphere Perpendicular cross section of a cone E) ellipse
i have to match them with the correct letter....
Show your working
the first one is C ?
i don't think so, it looks a bit complex... may be lets work others first
Cross section parallel to the base of a cone : https://share.ehs.uen.org/sites/default/files/images/unit10l1.1_image2.img_assist_custom.png
that should be easy to figure out ^
wait is is the figure in the middle ? so it would be circle ?
Yep

CYLINDERS ONLY PRODUCE CIRCLE-LIKE SHAPE WHEN CUT STRAIGHT IN ANY ORIENTATION
actually no lol
not in horizontal orientation
yes we can even get lines and triangles
ok..... what about the 3rd one ?
depends on the orientation
the last one is triangle ?
Shape created when a semi–circle is rotated about the y–axis : https://dr282zn36sxxg.cloudfront.net/datastreams/f-d%3Aeb970bc3b9d77d77224a7e0ea30b65fbb21e975101f0b3d728df5830%2BIMAGE_THUMB_POSTCARD%2BIMAGE_THUMB_POSTCARD.1
what is great circle o.o
its supposed to look like a sphere..
Imagine you spin that semicircle about that horizontal axis
it will sweep a 3D spherical region
soo D ?
yes
and you're right about the last one - Perpendicular cross section of a cone is a `triangle`
ok yay
are we like almost done ?
we still need the first, and the 4th
whats your best guess
think the 4th is ellipse ?
okay, lets look at cylinder thing first : http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/CylindricalSectionSchem_701.gif
whats ellipse ? rofl
Yes ! diagonal cross section of cylinder has to be an ellipse
which leaves the other to be great circle.. perff thanks :D
np :)
