Answer:Circle

Step-by-step explanation:

When a plane cuts the cone such that the plane is parallel to base of cone then the resulting cross-section obtained is circle.

When a plane cuts the cone slanted such that it does not pass through base or vertex then resulting figure obtained is Ellipse.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4x10 is moving the decimal point one spot to the left, so it would be 14., which is just simply 14. Finally, 14-2=12 which is the answer.

Describe one error that was made in the preparation of the

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

the axis labels are inconsistent with the graph title

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is described as "% protein digested", and the dependent variable is described as "time." The graphed values suggest that these are reasonable descriptors for the data being plotted.

The title, however, says the data points are "percentage digestion per hour". This is in disagreement with the axis labels, and is inconsistent with the shape of the curve. (If the title is to be believed, the digestion rate is such that more than 100% of <whatever> has been digested after 10 hours.)

<em>Additional comment</em>

Another error is the vertical axis is graduated as though it were linear, but it is decidedly non-linear. Equivalent distances on the graph are shown for differences of 10%, 5%, 10% and 25%. That is the scale varies by a factor of 5 from one part of the graph to another.

At Burger King the

geniusboy [140]

Not sure if this is very clear
Patty = 45.8%
Bun = 20.8%
Cheese = 8.3%
Sauce = 12.5%
Pickles = 4.2%
Veggies = 8.3%

EXPLANATION :

The equation to find a percentage is part(the broken down calories) over whole ( the total calories) is equal to % which we replace with x (since we’re trying to find the %) over 100 because all percents are out of 100. So for simple terms, p/w = %/100.
What I did was put 550/1200 = x/100, cross multiply, leaving you with 1200x=55000, then divide 55000/1200, giving you 45.8.
