Identify Shape Characteristics: Step 1: Identify the characteristics of the shape.Since the problem doesn't provide specific details about the shape, we need to consider common 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids.
Analyze Given Equation: Step 2: Analyze the given equation.The equation provided in the previous problem was x2+y2=36, which represents a circle in a 2D plane. In 3D, a shape that has a circular cross-section could be a cylinder or a sphere.
Determine 3D Shape: Step 3: Determine the 3D shape from the 2D equation.Since the equation x2+y2=36 is purely circular and does not include a variable for the third dimension (z), it suggests a cylinder extending along the z-axis, where any cross-section parallel to the x-y plane is a circle of radius 6.
