From the diagram you can see that plane cuts each lateral face of hexagonal pyramid and do not cut the base. A hexagonal pyramid has six lateral faces. The intersection of each of these lateral faces with given cutting plane is segment. The figure which consists of these segments is hexagon. This hexagon is not the same as base and even is not similar to the base because the cutting plane is not parallel to the base.

Answer: resulting cross section is a hexagon, correct choice is option 4.

Cutting a hexagonal pyramid by a plane parallel to the base would result to a cross section with a shape of hexagon which would be same with its base. A cross section is a plane that results from cutting an object using a plane.

Answer:

The correct option is 2. The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of mean is

$Mean=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}$

Since the person earning $15 per hour quits and is replaced with a person earning $8 per hour, therefore

$\text{New sum of employees earnings}=\text{sum of employees earnings}-15+8$

$\text{New sum of employees earnings}=\text{sum of employees earnings}-7$

Since sum of employees earnings decreased by $7, therefore the mean will decreases.

In a box plot the line inside the box represent the median.

From plot 1 we can say that the median is 9.5. From plot 2 we can say that the median is 9.5.

Therefore the median remain the same.

Option 2 is correct, the mean decreases, and the median remains the same.

Please help me find the area of this figure.

GREYUIT [131]

You basically have a triangle and a rectangle. seperate the two at first, the rectangle's area is 32 since 8*4=32
the area of a triangle is half of it's base times width. so 3*5=15/2=7.5
add 7.5 and 32 to get 39.5
