What is the shape of the cross-section formed when a cone intersects a plane as shown in the drawing?A.squareB.ovalC.triangleD.circleSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

Without a specific drawing, it's difficult to provide an accurate answer. However, generally, when a cone is intersected by a plane, the cross-section can form different shapes depending on the angle of intersection.

1. If the plane cuts the cone parallel to the base, the cross-section is a circle.
2. If the plane cuts the cone at an angle to the base but still goes through the center, the cross-section is an ellipse (oval).
3. If the plane cuts the cone at an angle to the base and does not go through the center, the cross-section is a parabola.
4. If the plane cuts the cone perpendicular to the base and goes through the apex, the cross-section is a triangle.

So, without a specific drawing, it's impossible to give a definitive answer.
