Answer: B. Circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base is a rectangle and the faces are rectangular, there is no way to slice the prism to get a a circle.

The trapezoid ? Maybe. A diagonal slice starting on a corner will create a quadrilateral with uneven sides.

Pentagon? Imagine starting on the top near a corner-- but not on the corner-- with a diagonal line, slicing down towards the opposite corner. You should be able to get an irregular pentagon.

A rectangle is easy!

No circles!

Enjoy! I hope this helps you.

Answer:

The answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a rectangular prism slicing will produce either a rectangle or trapezoid and not or a circle since it's round

Solve step by step solution then only i can do it plxx

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

If tile costs $8.50 per square foot, how much does it cost per inch?

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$0.06 per square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should be:

<em>"If tile costs $8.50 per square foot, how much does it cost per square inch?"</em>

<em />

To solve this, we basically need a conversion from feet to inches. BUT 2 times, since we are talking about "square feet" and "square inches".

We know 1 feet = 12 inches

Also, since we are going from square feet to square inches [big to small], we have to divide TWICE.

Thus, we will have:

$\frac{8.5}{12*12}$

We are dividing 8.5 (the cost) by 12, 2 times since we want square feet in square inches. The answer is:

$\frac{8.5}{12*12}=0.06$

So, tile costs $0.06 per square inch

What is the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a cylinder?

Artist 52 [7]

Diameter = 2* the radius of a cylinder

radius is half the diameter of a cylinder

i.e. r = d/2
