Visualize three-dimensional figures

What solid object has circles as its front and side views, as shown below, but its top view is not a circle?

This demonstration helps students to learn about a common pitfall in translating between two-dimensional cross-sections and projections in mechanical drawings, and the three-dimensional objects they represent.

This can also be useful when discussion ideas of perspective and imaging.
