A cross-section is the shape that would be exposed when cutting straight through a 3-D object. for example, cutting horizontally through a regular cone would expose a circle.
an intersection is where 2 or more shapes (does not matter how many dimensions) overlap. for example, the point at which two lines overlap is the intersection. or the area that two overlapping circles share is the intersection.
Answer:
9 square kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's round the width to 2.0 kilometers, and round the length to 4.5 kilometers.
We know that area is length times width, so
A = lw
A = 2.0*4.5
<u>A = 9.0 square kilometers</u>
If we do this on the calculator, it's around 9.36 square kilometers, so our estimate was good.
100/6 = 16.66 rounds to 16.7
