A triangular pyramid is cut by a plane. In which case is the cross section a quadrilateral?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(D) is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section will be a quadrilateral when the intersecting plane forms a closed four sided polygon along with the pyramid.

A triangular pyramid has four faces.  So, to form four straight lines and therefore a quadrilateral, the intersecting plane must intersect all four faces.

A. In this case the plane will only intersect one side of the pyramid so four sided polygon can't be formed.

B. It will only intersect the two sides of the pyramid but the cross section will not be a quadrilateral.

C. In this case the plane will intersect three sides of the pyramid so the cross section will be a triangle not a quadrilateral.

D. In this case the plane intersects all the four faces forming a closed polygon of 4 straight lines so the cross section will be a quadrilateral.

So, the Correct Option is (D) : When the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid, the cross section of the triangular pyramid will be a quadrilateral.

Amir says the graph of<br> y= x2 + 16 has -4 as a zero. Is Amir correct?<br> Explain.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

  • Amir is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y = x² + 16 is positive for any value of x, hence the graph has no intersection with the x-axis and therefore has no real zero's.

If no zero's, -4 also can't be its zero.

10 lbs/$12= 1 lb/x dollars.
If you rewrite it up and down and not slanted, it would be clearer to understand, but anyways, you cross multiply:
12*1=12 
12/10= 1.2
So the answer is 1.2, if you put it on that bubble sheet, put 1, then a decimal, after the decimal 2, and then all 0's,.

Point V is on line segment UW. Given UW=13 and VW = 11, determine the length of UV
jekas [21]

Answer:

UV = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

UW = 13

VW = 11

Required

Determine UV

From the question, we have

UW = UV + VW

Make UV the subject of formula

UV = UW - VW

Substitute 11 and 13 for VW and UW, respectively

UV = 13 - 11

UV = 2
