General Pyramids and Cones and Their Cross-Sections


Math Grade 10 Curriculum Map

Description

In Lesson 7, students examine the relationship between a cross-section and the base of a general cone. Students understand that pyramids and circular cones are subsets of general cones just as prisms and cylinders are subsets of general cylinders. In order to understand why a cross-section is similar to the base, there is discussion regarding a dilation in three dimensions, explaining why a dilation maps a plane to a parallel plane.
