Q. Select the type of cross section formed when a sphere is cut by a vertical plane.\newlinetriangle\newlinesquare\newlinecircle\newlinepentagon
  1. Visualize Sphere Properties: To solve this problem, we need to visualize or recall the properties of a sphere and what happens when it is intersected by a plane. A sphere is a three-dimensional solid where all points on the surface are equidistant from the center. When a sphere is cut by a plane, the cross section will be a shape that is symmetrical around the center point where the plane intersects the sphere.
  2. Sphere Intersected by Plane: Since the plane is vertical, it will cut through the sphere in such a way that the cross section will be a perfect circle. This is because any plane that cuts through the center of a sphere will create a circle, which is the set of all points that are equidistant from the center of the sphere along the plane.
