When you slice a cone horizontally, the resulting 2D figure is two identical circles. The horizontal slice reveals a circular cross-section, and if the slice is made at different heights, it will show circles of different diameters, which are still circular in shape. However, for the context of a simple horizontal slice, the response "two identical circles" may refer to separate cross-sectional slices at the same height.
Which of the following describes the resulting 2D figure when you slice a cone horizontally? (1 point)
Responses
two identical circles
two identical circles
two circles, with one larger than the other
two circles, with one larger than the other
a rectangle
