Consider the cube shown below identified the two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced horizontally starting with the same Cube identified the two dimensional shape of the cross section if the cube is sliced vertically explain why the shapes are the same or different

Without a visual of the cube, it is difficult to provide an accurate answer. However, assuming the cube has equal sides and is sliced horizontally at the midpoint and vertically at the center, the two-dimensional shape of the cross section would be a square in both cases.

This is because the cube has equal sides, so the slice will intersect each side at exactly the same point, creating a square shape. Regardless of whether the slice is made horizontally or vertically, it will still intersect each side of the cube at the same point, resulting in the same square shape for both cross sections.
