Answer

The shape of the cross section is Hexagon.

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation

The given pyramid is pentagonal pyramid. The cross section of pentagonal pyramid is a pentagon.

But in the given figure a plane cuts a pyramid in a different way. After cutting the shape of the cross section will have six sides.

So it will be a hexagon. All sides are not equal so it is not a regular hexagon.

The points A-1,-9) and K(5,1) are endpoints of a diameter of circle 5. Which equation represents circle S?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the extremities of diameter,then eq. of circle is

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

reqd. eq. is (x+1)(x-5)+(y+9)(y-1)=0

$x^{2} +x-5x-5+y^2+9y-y-9=0\\x^{2} -4x+y^2+8y-14=0\\compare with x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0\\center (-g,-f) \\radius r=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}$

center is (2,-4)

r=√(2²+(-4)²-(-14))

=√(4+16+14)

=√(34)

eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

(x²-4x)+(y²+8y)=14

(x²-4x+4)+(y²+8y+16)=14+4+16

(x-2)²+(y+4)²=34
