The <u>correct answer</u> is:

D) <span>when the plane makes a narrow angle with the base.

Explanation:

If a cross section of a prism is taken <u>parallel</u> to the base, the cross section will be the <u>same shape</u> as the base.  In this case, it will be a 9 sided polygon.

If a cross section of a prism is taken <u>perpendicular</u> to the base, the cross section will be a <u>rectangle</u>, no matter how many edges the cross section goes through.

The only way to get a cross section with more sides than the original figure is to take a slant cross section, or one with an angle other than 90</span>° or 180° to the base.  This makes D our only option.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on clothing = $50

Money spent on Groceries = $100

Money spent on Gas = $35

Total money spent = $185

Our question is to find the percentage of total money that is spent on clothing.

Percentage money on clothing = \frac{Money spent on clothing}{Total money} × 100

                                                   = \frac{50}{185} × 100

                                                   = 27.02% (approx)

Hence,<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.
