What cross-section do you get when you give a (a) vertical cut (b) horizontal cut to the following object?
an ice cream cone
Given object is an ice cream cone and the shape of an ice cream cone is a cone.
We know that cross-section is the shape obtained by the intersection of a solid object with a plane.
(a) In a horizontal cross-section, a plane cuts the solid shape in the horizontal direction which is parallel to its base.
When we give a horizontal cut to the ice cream cone, we get a circle-shaped cross-section as shown below:
(b) In a vertical cross-section, a plane cuts the solid shape in the vertical direction which is perpendicular to its base.
When we give a vertical cut to the ice cream cone, we get a triangle-shaped cross-section as shown below:
