so for A it is 16 times as large because the area is 3*3 which is 9 but since it is a triangle the area is halved and is 4.5 and divide 72 by 4.5 which gives us 16
then for b I believe that the scale factor is 4
and for C it is asking for the bottom side of the scaled copy not of triangle A and 4*3=12 so the bottom is 12
ok now its complete =)
A^-b = 1/a^b
a^b / a^c = a^b-c
a^c / b^c =(a/b)^c
Answer:
A square smaller than the base
Explanation:
A square pyramid is a 3 Dimensional image. When you slice a 3 Dimensional image you form is a 2 Dimensional image for example a rectangle, a square, a triangle e.t.c.
The shape of the cross sections formed after slicing a 3 Dimensional image is dependent on the way it was sliced.
This means it can be sliced horizontally or vertically and this would result in different shapes.
If square pyramid is sliced parallel to the base and halfway up the pyramid, the shape of the cross section formed is a square smaller than the base.
