A slice is made parallel to the base of a right rectangular pyramid, as shown. What is the area of the resulting two-dimensional
cross-section? Enter your answer in the box. Rectangular pyramid intersected horizontally by a rectangle. The front edge of the base of the pyramid is labeled 7 millimeters, and the right edge is labeled 4 millimeters. The height of the pyramid is labeled 5 millimeters. The part of the larger rectangle that intersects the pyramid is a smaller gray rectangle. The front side of the smaller rectangle is labeled 3.5 millimeters, and the right side is labeled 2 millimeters.
The answer would be the first option because it’s starting at 4.5, and if you subtracted 2.5, you would get the answer of 2, and that’s what the first option shows. Hope this helps!
The equation seems to be invalid. Is that the equation from your homework? Both sides of the equation dont seem to be equal to each other. This equation would have no solution, instead of one or infinite solutions.
