consider the cube shown below . identify the two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced horizontally

starting with the same cube identify the two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced vertically

Explain why the shapes are the same or different

The two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced horizontally is a square, and the two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced vertically is also a square. The shapes are the same because a cube is a three-dimensional shape with six square faces. Therefore, when the cube is sliced horizontally or vertically, the cross section will always be a square.
