A cone is cut along the shaded plane shown. If the plane in the figure is perpendicular to the base of the pyramid, which BEST describes the shape of the cross-
section?

Two-dimensional figure measured in terms of radius. It is formed by a set of points that are at a constant or fixed distance from a fixed point in the center of the plane. The parts of the circle are circumference, radius, diameter, chord, tangent, secant, arc of a circle, and segment in a circle.
