Answer:

An ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a cone and make a diagonal cut through it, removing a very thin slice. The result is an ellipse.

a /\

/ \

/ \ b

/ \

Make a straight line from a to b, it will make an elliptical shape. If we cut perfectly horizontally, we would get a circle, when we angle the cut of our cross section, the shape gets more and more elliptical depending on the angle of the cut

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form 2x+By=16

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Part 1) $y=-\frac{2x}{B}x+\frac{16}{B}$

Part 2) $y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$2x+By=16$

Isolate the variable y

subtract 2x both sides

$By=-2x+16$

Divide by B both sides

$y=-\frac{2x}{B}x+\frac{16}{B}$

Part 2)

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$2x+8y=16$

Isolate the variable y

subtract 2x both sides

$8y=-2x+16$

Divide by 8 both sides

$y=-\frac{2x}{8}x+\frac{16}{8}$

Simplify

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2$

What is the base of a triangle that has a height of 6 centimeters and an area of 18 centimeters? Use the formula h = StartFracti

azamat

Answer:

h = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Atriangle = b×h/2

18cm² = 6cm×h/2

36cm² = 6cm×h

h = 36cm²/6cm

h = 6 cm
