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.

What value of x satisfies the equation 5(x – 3) – 2(x + 1) = 4?

hjlf

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.

Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get

-2x - 2.

All together: 5x - 15 -2x - 2 = 4

Now combine like terms:

5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17

All together: 3x - 17 = 4

Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.

________________________________

Last, don't forget to check your work.

You can plug in 7 for x to get:

5(7 - 3) = 20

5 × 7 = 35

5 × -3 = -15

35 - 15 = 20

-2(7 + 1) = -16

-2 × 7 = -14

-2 × 1 = - 2

-14 -2 = -16

20 - 16 = 4

⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)

If a girl has 4 seeds, 3 blue ones, and 1 purple one. What is the probability of her choosing a purple one?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Blue (B) seed = 3

Purple (P) seed = 1

Total (S) = 1 + 3 = 4

The probability of her choosing a purple seed can be obtained as follow:

Event of purple seed, n(P) = 1

Total, n(S) = 4

Probability of purple seed, P(P) =?

P(P) = n(P) / n(S)

P(P) = ¼

Therefore, the probability of her choosing a purple seed is ¼.
