Question

The intersection of a right cylinder and a plane makes an oval cross section. Which option is true about the plane of intersection?

The right cylinder is cut with a plane that is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base.
The right cylinder is cut with a plane perpendicular to the base and passing through the center.
The right cylinder is cut with a plane parallel to the base.
The right cylinder is cut with a plane perpendicular to the base but not passing through the center.

Answer 1

Do you have a diagram or an image that goes with this?

Answer 2

no:(

Answer 3

Okay, so what do you think it i?

Answer 4

i think its the first option

Answer 5

I think it's B. The right cylinder is passing through the oval cross section, and a part of the cylinder has to pass through the center

Answer 6

The only method to get an oval cross is "the right cylinder is cut with a plane that is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base."
If the right cylinder is cut with a plane parallel to the base then shape of cross section will be circle.

Answer 7

If the right cylinder is cut with a plane perpendicular to the base and passing through the center then shape of cross section will be rectangle.
If the right cylinder is cut with a plane perpendicular to the base but not passing through the center then again shape of cross section will be rectangle.

Answer 8

True, but where the figures are on the plane also affects the answer choice here

Answer 9

yeah bc its a question abt the plane, thank u for the help:D

Answer 10

You're welcome! :D
