In this lesson, you will learn how to visualize the 2D cross-

sections of 3D shapes Cross Section:the 2 dimensional shape that results from cutting through the solid -

The Great Pyramids of Giza were originally built with a limestone cap at the top. Over the centuries, these caps have eroded away, and the tops of the pyramids are now parallel to the ground. What 2D shape describes the new top of the pyramid?

Let’s Review

Parts of a solid

Face, edge, and vertex

(vertices)

Apex

Core Lesson

Effect of slicing plane

Where plane intersects faces, edges of 2D figure results

Core Lesson

Identify characteristics of the solid

SquareTriangles

Core Lesson

Vertical, through apex

=triangle

Vertical slice through apex

Core LessonHorizontal Cross-section

Slices parallel to the base will always be similar to the base

A Common Misunderstanding

A plane can slice through a solid in

any directioncross-sections are always horizontal or vertical

Core Lesson Number of intersected faces

=number of edges

4 faces/edges5 faces/edges

The Great Pyramids of Giza were originally built with a limestone cap at the top. Over the centuries, these caps have eroded away, and the tops of the pyramids are now parallel to the ground. What 2D shape describes the new top of the pyramid?

Top of pyramid is square

Ice cream factories test how consistently the ingredients are distributed through each carton by cutting cartons in half for a good view. Describe the 2D figures that result from slicing a carton vertically or diagonally through the top & side.

How do you determine the shape that results from

slicing a 3D solid?

In this lesson, you will learn how to visualize the 2D cross-sections of cylinders by analyzing if a plane intersects with straight or curved

surfaces.

Let’s Review

Identify characteristics of the solid

BasesLateral surface(face)

Edges

Core Lesson

Distance from center is constant.Therefore it’s a

circle

Horizontal Cross-section

rr

Slices parallel to base are congruent

to base

Core Lesson

Vertical Cross-section

Vertical slice always creates a parallelogram

A Common Misunderstanding

A diagonal cross-section creates a circle

Circles are only created by horizontal

cross-sections

Core Lesson

Distance from center is not

constantActually an ellipse

Diagonal Cross-section

ba

Core LessonDiagonal Cross-section

Types of faces intersecteddetermines

types of edges on 2D figure

Core Lesson

Intersects 2 arcs & 2 parallel lines

Diagonal Cross-section

Core Lesson

Ice cream factories test how consistently the ingredients are distributed through each carton by cutting cartons in half for a good view. Describe the 2D figures that result from slicing a carton vertically or diagonally through the top & side.

Vertical: rectangleDiagonal: half-moon

How do you know what 2D shapes result from slicing through a cone?

What would this cone look like if we slice it diagonally?

Let’s Review

Identify characteristics of the solid

Base

Lateral surface(face)

Edge

Apex

Let’s Review Double-napped Cone

2 cones sharing 1 apex Applications in

algebraic geometry &

calculus

Core Lesson

Vertical Cross-section

Vertical slice through apex always creates a triangle

Core Lesson

Intersects 1 curved & 1 flat face:

parabola

Vertical Cross-section (cont.)

2 curved & 2 flat faces:

hyperbola

Core Lesson

Intersecting curved lateral surface

Horizontal Cross-section

Geometrically similar to base:

circle

A Common Misunderstanding

A diagonal cross-section creates a circle

Circles are only created by horizontal

cross-sections

Core Lesson

Distance from center is not

constantActually an ellipse

Diagonal Cross-section

Core Lesson

Intersects 2 arcs & 2 parallel lines

Diagonal Cross-section

Hyperbola along the 2D plane

In this lesson, you have learned how to visualize the 2D cross-

sections of cones by analyzing if a plane intersects with straight or

curved surfaces.

How do you predict the 3D result of rotating a 2D figure?

What 3D shape would result from rotating this rectangle?

Core Lesson

Axis bisects triangle

Rotating Triangle in 3D

Rotation creates a cone

Core Lesson

Edges perpendicular to axis draw flat faces

Rectangle: Axis Bisecting

Edges parallel to axis draw curved surfaces

Rotation creates: cylinder

Core Lesson

Edges perpendicular to axis draw flat faces

Rectangle: Axis Along Edge

Edges parallel to axis draw curved surfaces

Rotation creates: cylinder

Core Lesson

Curved edges draw curved surfaces

Circle: Axis Bisecting

Rotation creates: sphere

In this lesson you have learned how to predict the 3D

results of rotating simple figures by analyzing the

effects of rotations.
