5. The cross section by a vertical plane of a cylinder is a
A) Rectangle
B) Circle
C) Right triangle
D) None​

Answer 1

The cross-section by a vertical plane of a cylinder is a rectangle.

(Option A)

- Cross section of a three dimensional shape is the surface which we get when we divide the shape in a mentioned way.

- Similarly,if if we vertically (as given in the question) divide a cylinder then we will get a rectangular cross section.

- Suppose,this vertical division is performed through the diameter of both the base and upper surface of the cylinder.

Then,the two smaller sides of the rectangle will be the diameters of the base and upper surface of the cylinder, respectively.

And the longer sides of the rectangle will be the height of the cylinder.
