<u>Answer:</u>
Trapezoid is the shape of the cross section of a rectangular pyramid.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given a rectangular pyramid was sliced such that it becomes parallel to its base. We are to determine the shape of the cross section.
Slicing the pyramid with rectangular pyramid will form a trapezoid as a cross section which will be parallel to the base of the pyramid.
Refer to the figure below for better understanding.
To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
Let:
x = number of shirt buttons.
y = number of buttons on jackets.
Writing the system:
36x + 42y = 842
6x + 7y = 137
We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.
The required matrix is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25&17&0\\8&-1&3\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-25%2617%260%5C%5C8%26-1%263%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to apply elementary row operation -2R₂+3R₁ tothe matrix:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&5&2\\8&-1&3\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-3%265%262%5C%5C8%26-1%263%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Multiplying Row 2 with -2 and Row1 with 3 and adding,
-9 15 6
-16 2 -6
----------
-25 17 0
After applying this operation, Row 1 will be changed while Row 2 will remain same because we get -2R₂+3R₁ -> R₁
The required matrix is:
