If the given figure is sliced through points J, K, and L, which best describes the shape of the resulting cross-section?A. triangleB. parallelogramC. rectangleD. trapezoid

If the given figure is sliced through points J K and L which best describes the shape of the resulting crosssectionA triangleB parallelogramC rectangleD trapezo class=


Answer :

Solution:

The cross-sections in slicing a rectangular based pyramid is shown in the image below

Figure 4 shows the cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid parallel to its base.

The cross-section is a rectangle.

Figure 5 shows the cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid through its apex and perpendicular to its base.

The cross-section is a triangle.

Figure 6 shows the cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid perpendicular to its base, not through the apex.

The cross-section is a trapezoid.

Hence,

From the explanation above the final answer is TRAPEZOID

OPTION D is the right answer
