A triangle and a vertical line are shown. If the triangle is revolved about the vertical line, what is the resulting object?

a right triangle with one side against a vertical line

solid cylinder
hollow cylinder
hollow cone with truncated top
solid cone

1 answer

When a right triangle is revolved around a vertical line that is adjacent to one of its sides, the resulting object will be a solid cone. The vertical line acts as the axis of rotation, and as the triangle rotates around this line, the shape of the triangle extends in a circular manner, forming a cone.

Thus, the answer is solid cone.
