Solution

The statement is True.

Explanation:

  1. Definition of a Cylinder: A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a fixed distance from the center of the circles.

  2. Horizontal Cross-Sections: When you take a horizontal cross-section of a cylinder, the resulting shape is a circle.

  3. Congruent Shapes: Since all horizontal slices or cross-sections are circles located at various heights of the cylinder, and these circles have the same radius, they are congruent.

Thus, all horizontal cross-sections of a cylinder are indeed congruent, confirming that the answer is A. True.
