The answer is the option B, which is: B. Similar hexagons.

The explanation for this answer is shown below:

By definition, a cross section is the shape that is formed when a plane cuts or makes a slice through a solid.

The hexagonal pyramid has an hexagonal as its base. If you make slices parallel to the base of this pyramid, you will see the shape of this base in different sizes. Therefore the shapes that are formed by cross sections parallel to the base of the hexagonal pyramid are similar hexagons.

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

Find domain and range -√x-5+10

inysia [295]

When finding the domain of a square root, you have to know that it is impossible to get the square root of 0 or any negative number. since domain is possible x values this means that x cannot be 0 or any number less than 0. However, you can find the square root of the smallest most infinitely small number greater than 0. since an infinitely small number close to zero can not be written out, we must must say that the domain starts at 0 exclusive. exclusive is represented by an open or close parenthesis so in this case the domain starts with:
(0,
we can get the square root of any number larger than 0 up to infinity but infinity can never be reached so it is also exclusive. So so the ending of our domain would be:
,infinity)
So the answer if the square root is only over the x the answer is
(0, infinity)

But if the square root is over the x- 5 then this would brIng a smaller amount of possible x values. since anything under the square root sign has to be greater than 0, you can say that:
(x - 5) > 0
x > 5
Therefore the domain would start at 5 and the answer would be:
(5, infinity)
