Answer:

B. Pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

A cross-section is basically the 2D figure created by slicing through a 3D shape.

Take a look at this figure: it's a pentagonal prism. One note to remember is that for all prisms, their cross-sectional shapes are the same shapes as the shape of their bases.

Here, the two bases are pentagons, so we know the cross-section will be a pentagon.

Thus, the answer is B.

The smaller triangle is the image of the larger triangle after a dilation. The center of the dilation is (4,2). What is the scal

zzz [600]

Small triangle: The side // x axis has a length of 4
Large triangle: The side // x axis has a length of 12

So Small/Large = 4/12 = 1/3

Small triangle: The side // y axis has a length of 3
Large triangle: The side // y axis has a length of 9

So Small/Large = 3/9 = 1/3

So the scale factor to obtain this dilatation is 1/3

I think of a number double it add 15 my number is 21 what number was i thinking about

AleksandrR [38]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Discussion:

Let the number be "n",

2n + 15 = 21 => subtract 15 from both sides

2n = 21 - 15 = 6 => divide both sides by 2

n = 6/2 = 3

Check: Start with 3. Double it (gives 6), add 15 to it ( 6 + 15) which gives 21/

Thank you,
