Width: 6.5 feet
Height: 8 feet
Linus needs to answer the following questions for their boss. Help Linus out! Be sure to show your work and/or reasoning!
1. Describe the shape of the cross section when the refrigerator is cut parallel to the base.
Include the dimensions of the cross section.
When the refrigerator is cut parallel to the base (which is the bottom of the refrigerator), the shape of the cross section would be a rectangle. This is because the base is a rectangle, and when the cut is made parallel to the base, the resulting shape would also be a rectangle.
The dimensions of the cross section would be:
Length: 3 feet
Width: 6.5 feet
This is because the cut is made parallel to the base, so the length and width dimensions of the base (3 feet and 6.5 feet respectively) are retained in the cross section.
