Answer: A RECTANGLE ( It has four sides, its opposite sides are congruent and all its angles measure 90 degrees)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember the definition of a "Cross section".
In Geometry a "Cross section" is defined as that shape obtained when a three-dimensional figure is sliced by a plane.
In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, the cheese block has the shape of a cylinder. This is the three-dimensional figure.
Observe in the picture attached in the exercise that the cylinder-shaped cheese block is cut through perpendicular to its base.
By definition, when this perpendicular cut happens, the shape obtained is a Quadrilateral which has four equal angles that measure 90 degrees and whosepposite sides are parallel have equal length.
Therefore, you can conclude that the two-dimensional cross section that would be created by slicing the cylinder-shaped cheese block perpendicular to its base,is: A RECTANGLE.
In intercept form, the plane that has these intercepts is ...
... x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) + z/(z-intercept) = 1
... x/1 + y/(-1) + z/2 = 1
... 2x -2y +z = 2 . . . . . in standard form
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
