Help .? Medal & fan. Jon started with a diagram like the one below and drew a three-dimensional figure by rotating the circle 360 about line m. Nadia started with a diagram like the one below and drew a three-dimensional figure by rotating the right triangle ABC 360 about line m. (a)Name the three-dimensional figure created by each person.

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

(b)Nadia remarked that her figure has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. Jon gave a sly grin and remarked that his figure has an infinite number plus one! After explaining the difference between his figure’s planes of symmetry and hers, Jon convinces Nadia that his figure does have one more than hers. How might Jon have explained this?

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

circule rotated is torus,and triangle rotated is cone

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

the "one" more comes from the midpoint of torus, since torus is symmertical top and bottom but cone is not

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

For the one where you have to name each figure the person created? Cause I put that Jon created a circle and Nadia created a Kite

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

read the question again!

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

It says 3D figure!

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so the 2D figure leves the plane of paper, rotating 360 to land on ti again

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

Ohhh I see it now

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

In this way the figure created by circle is torus and triangle is cone

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

So for the second part on explaining why Jon said convince Nadai about that his figure does have one more than hers is because his is a circle?

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

JOn says his figure is symmertical top and bottom so the midpane of torus is plane of symmetry. Since cone dont have this property, it is not

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

Ahhh I see that, thank you!

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

however, "one more" is mistaken here, both have an INFINITE planes of symmetry so they are same,
