A deli clerk has lunchmeat formed in the shape of a cylinder with a radius of 2 inches and a height of 4 inches. He divides the lunchmeat into two equal sections by making a vertical cut as shown below. What is the shape of the cross section formed by the vertical cut?

The shape of the cross-section is a square

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

The shape of the cross-section

From the attachment, we can see that when the cylinder is cut vertically, the shape formed is a quadrilateral of equal opposite sides.

The dimension of the shape is: the height of the cylinder and the diameter of the base circle

From the given parameters, we have the radius and the height to be:

The diameter (d) is:

So, the dimension is:

and

Since the height and the diameter have the same lengths, then the shape is a square.

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
