The Great Pyramids of Giza were originally built with a limestone cap at the top. Over the centuries, these caps have eroded away, and the tops of the pyramids are now parallel to the ground. What 2D shape describes the new top of the pyramid?
Parts of a solid Apex • edge, Face, • and vertex • (vertices)
Effect of slicing plane Where plane intersects faces, edges of 2D figure results
Identify characteristics of the solid Triangles Square
Vertical slice through apex Vertical, through apex = triangle
Horizontal Cross-section Slices parallel to the base will always be similar to the base
A plane can slice through a solid in any direction cross-sections are always horizontal or vertical
Number of intersected faces = number of edges 4 faces/edges 5 faces/edges
The Great Pyramids of Giza were originally built with a limestone cap at the top. Over the centuries, these caps have eroded away, and the tops of the pyramids are now parallel to the ground. What 2D shape describes the new top of the pyramid? Top of pyramid is square
How do you determine the shape that results from slicing a 3D solid? Ice cream factories test how consistently the ingredients are distributed through each carton by cutting cartons in half for a good view. Describe the 2D figures that result from slicing a carton vertically or diagonally through the top & side.
In this lesson, you will learn how to visualize the 2D cross-sections of cylinders by analyzing if a plane intersects with straight or curved surfaces.
Identify characteristics of the solid Lateral surface (face) Edges Bases
Horizontal Cross-section Distance from center is constant. Therefore it’s a circle r r Slices parallel to base are congruent to base
Vertical Cross-section Vertical slice always creates a parallelogram
Circles are only created by horizontal cross-sections A diagonal cross-section creates a circle
Diagonal Cross-section Distance from center is not constant Actually an ellipse a b
Diagonal Cross-section Types of faces intersected determines types of edges on 2D figure
Diagonal Cross-section Intersects 2 arcs & 2 parallel lines
Ice cream factories test how consistently the ingredients are distributed through each carton by cutting cartons in half for a good view. Describe the 2D figures that result from slicing a carton vertically or diagonally through the top & side. Vertical: rectangle Diagonal: half-moon
How do you know what 2D shapes result from slicing through a cone? What would this cone look like if we slice it diagonally?
Identify characteristics of the solid Lateral surface (face) Apex Base Edge
Double-napped Cone 2 cones sharing 1 apex Applications in algebraic geometry & calculus
Vertical Cross-section Vertical slice through apex always creates a triangle
Vertical Cross-section (cont.) Intersects 1 curved & 1 flat face: parabola 2 curved & 2 flat faces: hyperbola
Horizontal Cross-section Intersecting curved lateral surface • Geometrically similar to base: • circle
Circles are only created by horizontal cross-sections A diagonal cross-section creates a circle
Diagonal Cross-section Distance from center is not constant Actually an ellipse b a
Diagonal Cross-section Types of faces intersected determines types of edges on 2D figure
Diagonal Cross-section Intersects 2 arcs & 2 parallel lines Hyperbola along the 2D plane
In this lesson, you have learned how to visualize the 2D cross-sections of cones by analyzing if a plane intersects with straight or curved surfaces.
How do you predict the 3D result of rotating a 2D figure? What 3D shape would result from rotating this rectangle?
Rotating Triangle in 3D Axis bisects triangle Rotation creates a cone
Rectangle: Axis Bisecting Edges perpendicular to axis draw flat faces Edges parallel to axis draw curved surfaces Rotation creates: cylinder
Rectangle: Axis Along Edge Edges perpendicular to axis draw flat faces Edges parallel to axis draw curved surfaces Rotation creates: cylinder
Circle: Axis Bisecting Curved edges draw curved surfaces Rotation creates: sphere
In this lesson you have learned how to predict the 3D results of rotating simple figuresby analyzing the effects of rotations.
