1. Cross Sections
SWBAT: Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms, right rectangular pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.

2. Cross Sections
A slice of any 3 dimensional figure with a plane creates a __________
Cross sections are either taken ______________ or ____________ to the base, but they can also be taken at a_____________.   
Cross Section
Parallel
Perpendicular
Diagonal

3. Types of Cross Sections:
If a shape is cut parallel, then the cross section looks just like the base. (Think a stack of cheese or a stack of CDs)
If a shape is cut perpendicular to the base, then the cross section looks just like the lateral face.
If the shape is cut diagonally, the cross section looks like a stretched out base.

4. Parallel Cross Section
Same Shape as the base

5. Perpendicular Cross Section

6. Cross Sections of a Cylinder:

7. Cross Section of a Rectangular Pyramid

8. Cross Section of a Triangular Prism

9. Cross Section of a Hexagonal/Pentagonal Prism

10. Cross Sections of a Cone
