Yes, 2/5 has a denominator of 5, 1/3 having a denominator of 3, and 4/15 has a denominator of 15. 3 and 5 are factors of 15, so 3 times 5 = 15, 5 times 3 = 15 15 times 1 = 15. What you do the denominator, you must do to the numerator, so 1 times 5 = 5(final fraction is 5/15), 2 times 3 = 6(final fraction is 6/15) and the 4/15 stays the same. 5 + 6 + 4 = 15, final answer is 15/15, that's the entire bag, and she could have a 4/15 chance of pulling out a Perfect Pitch.

What is the shape of the cross-section formed when a plane containing line AC and line EH intersects this cube? What is the area
velikii [3]

Answer:

Cross section is a rectangle.

Area of cross section = 16 sqrt(2) = 22.63 sq. units (to 2 decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cube.

top face ABCD is parallel and congruent to bottom face EFGH  ........(1)

justified by the properties of cubes

Sides AE and CH are perpendicular to faces ABCD and EFGH ..........(2)

justified by the properties of cubes

Diagonals AC and EH are congruent ......................(3)

justified by (1), congruent top and bottom faces  

Consider cross-section ACHE

AC is congruent and parallel to  EH   (1) & (3)

EA & HC are perpendicular to AC      (2)

Therefore the quadrilateral ACHE is a rectangle.

Length of diagonal AC = sqrt(4^2+4^2) = 4 sqrt(2)  ..........pythagoras theorem

AE = CH = DG = 4      properties of cube, all sides equal

Area of ACHE = 4* 4sqrt(2) = 16 sqrt(2) = 22.63 sq. units
