A cylinder is sliced by a plane that is not parallel to the base and intersects only the lateral surface. The resulting cross section is which of the following


A: A Circle


B: A Parabola


C: An Ellipse


D: A Hyperbola

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is C: An Ellipse


Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

Option: C is the correct answer.

The cross-section that is obtained on slicing is:

          C.  An ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We know that when a cylinder is sliced by a plane parallel to its base then  a circle is obtained.
  • If slicing is done perpendicular to the base then the cross-section that is obtained is: rectangle.
  • and if slicing is done by a plane  that is not parallel to the base and intersects only the lateral surface is: Ellipse.

      Hence, option: C is the answer.
