A circular pipe is cut at a 45° angle. What shape is the cut surface?
Answer: Ellipse
Cutting a cylinder at an angle other than 90° stretches the circular cross-section into an ellipse.
A floor plan shows a room at a scale of 1 inch = 5 feet. The room measures 4 inches × 3 inches on the plan. What are the actual dimensions?
Answer: 20 ft × 15 ft
Multiply each plan dimension by the scale factor: 4 in × 5 = 20 ft and 3 in × 5 = 15 ft.
A horizontal cut is made through a vertical cone below its apex and parallel to its base. What shape is the cut surface?
Answer: Circle
A cut parallel to the base of a cone always produces a circular cross-section.
An elevator shaft is drawn as a 2 in × 3 in rectangle on a blueprint at a scale of 1 in = 4 ft. What are the actual dimensions of the shaft?
Answer: 8 ft × 12 ft
Multiply each blueprint dimension by 4: 2 × 4 = 8 ft and 3 × 4 = 12 ft.
A square tile has a diagonal that measures 12 inches. What is the side length of the tile to the nearest inch?
Answer: 8 inches
Side length = diagonal ÷ √2 = 12 ÷ 1.414 ≈ 8.5 inches, which rounds to 8 inches.
If you view a solid cylinder from directly above, what outline shape do you see?
