Question 2 Select Cylinder from the list of shapes. Move the intersecting plarne, and vary the angle between the intersecting plane and the vertical axis to identify
the shapes of different types of cross sections. Try to form as many different cross-sectional shapes as possible. As in Question 1, it may be helpful to
vary the angle of rotation of the plane gradually.
Part A
In the table, describe the shape of the cross section formed when a particular plane passes through the cylinder.

Description of Cross Section
plane parallel to the vertical axis
plane parallel to the circular base
plane making an angle with the vertical axis without passing though the base or top surface
plane making an angle with the vertical axis and passing through the base and top surface
plane making an angle with the vertical axis and passing through either the base or the top surface, but not both
