D.when the plane makes a narrow angle with the base

Vikki [24]3 years ago

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.

Find common ratio of the geometric sequence
Sindrei [870]

The common ratio of the GP is 3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find first and second terms to find the common ratio, r = a(2)/a(1)

⇒ a(1) = 3^1-1/2^1 = 3^0/2 = 1/2

⇒ a(2) = 3^2-1/2^2 = 3^1/4 = 3/4

  • Step 2: Find the common ratio

⇒ r = a(2)/a(1) = 3/4 ÷ 1/2 = 3/4 × 2/1 = 3/2
