Answer: The answer is (B). An isosceles triangle.
Step-by-step explanation: In the given figure, a cone and its axis of rotation is shown. We are to select the type of cross-section that will be formed if the plane passes through the axis of rotation.
See the attached figure, if a plane passes through the axis of rotation of the cone, then the resultant cross-section will be a triangle with one vertex as the vertex of the cone, i.e., A. And also, the two sides of the triangle through the vertex A will be equal.
The cross-section is also shown in the attached figure and it will be an isosceles triangle ABC, where AB = AC.
Thus, the correct option is (B) an isosceles triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:
(3a + 2b − c) (a − b + 2c)
Expand (3a + 2b − c) (a − b + 2c) by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.
3a ⋅ a + 3a (−b) + 3a (2c) + 2ba + 2b (−b) + 2b (2c) − ca − c (−b) − c (2c)
3 (a ⋅ a) + 3a (−b) + 3a (2c) + 2ba + 2b (−b) + 2b (2c) − ca − c (−b) − c (2c)
3a^2 + 3a (−b) + 3a (2c) + 2ba + 2b (−b) + 2b (2c) − ca − c (−b) − c (2c)
Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

3a^2 − 3ab + 3a (2c) + 2ba + 2b (−b) + 2b (2c) − ca − c (−b) − c (2c)
Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.
