Cross-sections of solids can vary depending on the angle and direction of the cut. However, I will provide you with some common cross-sections for the mentioned solids based on typical cuts.
(a) A brick:
Vertical cut: You will get a rectangular cross-section.
Horizontal cut: You will get a rectangular cross-section as well, but the shape may be different if the brick is not oriented perfectly.
(b) A round apple:
Vertical cut: You will get a circular cross-section, typically in the shape of a disk.
Horizontal cut: You will get a circular cross-section as well, but it may be thicker, resembling a smaller disk.
(c) A die (dice):
Vertical cut: You will get a rectangular cross-section with a square shape since dice are cube-shaped.
Horizontal cut: You will also get a rectangular cross-section with a square shape, but it may look different depending on the orientation of the cut.
(d) A circular pipe:
Vertical cut: You will get a semicircular cross-section, resembling half of a circle.
Horizontal cut: You will get a circular cross-section, similar to a round pipe.
(e) An ice cream cone:
Vertical cut: You will get a triangular cross-section since ice cream cones typically have a conical shape.
Horizontal cut: You will get a circular cross-section at the top of the cone, which becomes smaller as you move down the cone.
Please note that the specific shape and size of the cross-sections can vary based on the orientation and angle of the cut, as well as the exact geometry of the objects.
