Given:
Image of the pyramid
To identify:
The cross section of the solid.
Solution:
The given image is a pyramid.
The base of the pyramid have 5 edges.
So, it is a pentagonal pyramid.
In the cross section also have 5 edges.
Therefore the cross section of the solid shown in the diagram is pentagon.
We can use the Pythagorean theorum
a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2 is the length of the longest side squared
so
6^2 + b^2 = 10^2
36+ b^2 = 100
-36 -36
b^2 = 64
b = 8
b is the same thing as your "x", so x = 8
Answer:
The axis of symmetry is -b/2a
The x-intercept shown is 3 units away from the axis of symmetry.
The other x-intercept also must be 3 units away from the axis of symmetry but on the opposite side.
Subtract 3 from the axis of symmetry.
The other x-intercept is (-b/2a-3,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
