A cross-section parallel to the base of an object will typically reveal a shape that reflects the geometry of the object itself. For example, if the object is a cylinder, the cross-section will appear as a circle. A cross-section cannot be a sphere; rather, it can produce circular cross-sections if sliced in certain orientations, but a sphere itself is a three-dimensional object and cannot be represented as a two-dimensional cross-section that retains its spherical properties.
If you were to take a cross-section parallel to the base for one of your items, what shape
would you see? Can a cross-section be a sphere? Explain in two to three sentences.
