Part b) Triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure N 1</em></u>
Part A) A cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut with a plane parallel to the base. What is the name of the shape created by the cross section?
we know that
When a geometric plane slices any right pyramid so that the cut is parallel to the plane of the base, the cross section will have the same shape (but not the same size) as the base, So, in the case of a right rectangular pyramid, the cross section is a rectangle
Part b) If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section?
we know that
Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles

Answer:
1. 10 square yards
2. $9.10
3. 36 girls
4. 20 cherries
5. 159 bracelets
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The area of this figure would be the area of the SQUARE minus the area of the RECTANGLE (taken out).
The middle part is taken out (this is a rectangle).
View this as a square with sides 4 by 4 with a rectangle portion taken out. So the area can be said as:
Area = Area of Whole Square - Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out
Lets calculate:
Area of Whole Square:
side * side = 4 * 4 = 16
Now,
Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out:
Length * Width
The length is given as 3
The width would be 4 - two 1 from two sides, that is 4 - 1 - 1 = 2
So, area = 3 * 2 = 6
Area of figure = 16 - 6 = 10 square yards

We have to find 20% of the bill.
The bill was 45.50 and we have to find 20% of 45.50.
We first convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100:
20% = 20/100 = 0.20
Now we multiply this decimal with the bill to get our desired answer:
0.20 * 45.50 = $9.10
The tip is $9.10

The ratio of boys (b) to girls (g) would be 2 is to 3.
There are 24 boys.
We can set up a ratio (fraction) with boys on top and girls on bottom.
Then we equate it with actual number of boys and girls (let it be g). So the ratio set-up would be:
To solve for g, the number of girls, we have to cross multiply and use algebra to solve. The process is shown below:
There are 36 girls in sixth grade

For every "9" lemon, there are "4" cherries.
There are 45 lemons
If we think of "9" lemons as a "box", how many boxes of lemons are there?
45/9 = 5
Similarly, there would be "5" boxes of cherries. But there are "4" cherries per box. So there are:
4 * 5 = 20 cherries
We can also set up a ratio of cherry to lemon as 4 is to 9 and equate it with actual cherries (let it be "c") and lemons (45). Cross multiply and use algebra to solve for cherries ("c"). Algebra process shown below:
See, we have the same answer, 20 cherries!

Number sold total = 14 + 27 + 45 = 86
She still has 73 in her stock
So, she basically started with whatever she now has (73) and whatever she has sold the 3 days (86), that would be:
73 + 86 = 159 bracelets
Tia started with 159 bracelets
