Question
A solid is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base, forming a two-dimensional cross section in the shape of a hexagon. Which of the following solids could have resulted in that cross section?
Solution
The solid that could have resulted in a hexagonal cross section when cut by a plane parallel to its base could be a hexagonal prism or a hexagonal pyramid. This is because these solids have a hexagonal base, and when cut parallel to the base, the cross section would also be a hexagon.
