Answer:

D) when the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilater figure has 4 sides and it will be formed only if the plane cuts all four faces of the pyramid. The only case in which this happens is in option D (the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid), the intersection of two planes is a line, if the plane intercepts the pyramid in 4 places the resulting figure is a four-sided polygon

Answer: D) when the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A triangular pyramid is cut by a plane, then the cross section will be a quadrilateral when the intersecting plane forms a closed four sided polygon .

We know that a triangular pyramid has four faces. Thus to create a quadrilateral, the intersecting plane must intersect all four faces.

From all the given options only in option D the plane will intersects all the four faces producing a closed polygon of four lines such that the cross section will be a quadrilateral.

hence, the right answer is " When the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid, the cross section of the triangular pyramid will be a quadrilateral."

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The first student is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information there is already 4 inches on the rectangle. 13 x2 = 26. 26+4=30. For student two if the unknown number was 10 it would not work because the longest side is 3 less then the unknown number. 10-3=7. 7x2=14. 14+4= 28<30

Natalija [7]
Y= 3x - 10
<span>3x + 2y = 16

3x+2(3x-10)=16
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
9x=36
x=4

y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2</span>
