<h3>Answer:   Ellipse</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Imagine that this plane was a saw blade, or a laser, that cut the cone. We would have two pieces and each piece would have a shape of an ellipse on them. The cutting plane would also have the same ellipse shape.

Or you think of the cutting plane as a flat piece of cloth. If we cut everything around the cone, then we would have an ellipse shaped hole as a result.

The reason why we get an ellipse and not a circle is because the plane is angled like that. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the circular base in order to get a circular cross section.

Tesfa is x years old his father is 4 times as old as tesfa his mother is 7 years younger than his father If their ages add up to
Sergio039 [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

his father's age= 4x

his mother's age= 4x- 7

his age= x

x+4x+4x-7=101

x+ 4x+ 4x= 101+ 7

9x= 108

\frac{9x}{9}= \frac{108}{9}

x= 12

What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle below?​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the height a creates with half of the baseline (5) and a leg (10) a right-angled triangle, and we can use Pythagoras to calculate a.

c² = a² + b²

c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle, so in our case the 10 side).

10² = a² + 5²

100 = a² + 25

75 = a²

a = sqrt(75) = sqrt(3×25) = 5×sqrt(3)

Can you help me with number 5?
Verizon [17]

We can divide that up into two rectangles, say the bottom one 8 feet wide and 2 feet high.  That leaves 5.5 by 6-2=4 feet for the other.

Cost = price × area = 2.25(8×2 + 5.5×4) = $85.50

Answer: $85.50

xeze [42]

Answer:

x=27, y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle CB is 128, which means angle AC is 72. We can confirm angle O is also 72, since the lines are straight. Angle AM is 27, because AN is a right angle. 63+72+27= 162 180-162=18 Angle ND is 18.
