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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie2 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.

if tom spins the spinner 80 times work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3 please help me
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A four-sided spinner is provided. If Tom spins the spinner 80 times then work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3.

Solution:

Assume that the four-sided spinner is unbiased.

That is all the four outcomes are equally likely to be selected.

The probability that the spinner lands on any of the four numbers is:

P(1) = P (2) = P (3) = P (4) = 0.25

It is provided that Tom spins the spinner <em>n</em> = 80 times.

The spinner can land on any of the four numbers independently.

The random variable <em>X</em>, defined as the number of times the spinner lands on 3, follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 80 and <em>p</em> = 0.25.

The expected value of <em>X</em> is:

E(X)=np

        =80\times 0.25\\=20

Thus, the estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

-3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, you multiply -3 times x and you get -3x, then you multiply -3 times -6 and since you are multiplying two negative numbers the result becomes positive so you get +6. Result = -3x+6
