Question

Identify the shape that will be angled cross-section of a rectangular pyramid.

  1. Triangle
  2. Rectangle
  3. Trapezoid
  4. Square

The correct answer is: Trapezoid


    Rectangle.

    The plane cuts the pyramid at an angle which is not parallel to the base of the cone, this is the reason why we are getting a rectangle but with a length : breadth ratio different than that of the base.

    Name the shape that would result from slicing a rectangular pyramid parallel to the base

    Since the pyramid is rectangular, this means that the base of the pyramid is a rectangle. Therefore, if we slice it parallel to the base, we’ll get a cross section which will look like the base of the pyramid, i.e., a rectangle.

    The plane cuts the cone at an angle which is not parallel to the base of the cone, this is the reason why we are getting an oval. If the plane did cut the cone making 0 degrees with the base of the cone, then we would have got a circle.
