Answer:

option 1.

circle

Step-by-step explanation:

A section is formed when a solid shape is sliced into two. A conic section is therefore formed when a cone, is sliced into two.

What determines the shape of the section now, is the angle at which the cone was sliced.

Normally, the base of a cone is a circle. If we slice a cone using a straight line, which runs parallel to its base, we will still get another perfect cone, but with a smaller height.

If we look at the flat portion of the cone after it has been sliced, we will see that the cross-section is a circle.

Can you please help me find the value of x and y while l is parallel to m.

12345 [234]

Answer-

The values of x and y are 13 and 24, respectively.

Solution-

From the attachment, l and m are parallel lines and

$\Rightarrow (5x-8)+(4y+27)=180$

$\Rightarrow 5x+4y=161$ ---------------------1

As, when a traversal line intersects two parallel lines, same-side interior angles are supplementary, or they add up to 180 degrees.

$\Rightarrow (7x-31)+63=4y+27$

$\Rightarrow 7x-4y=-5$ ---------------------2

As, an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

Adding equation 1 and 2, we get,

$\Rightarrow 5x+4y+7x-4y=161-5$

$\Rightarrow 12x=156$

$\Rightarrow x=13$

Putting the value of x in equation 1, we get

$\Rightarrow y=24$

Find c and round to the nearest tenth

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<C = ?

a = 22

b = 20

c = 18

Formula

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b* cos(C)

Solution

18^2 = 22^2 + 20^2 - 2*22*20*cos(C)

324 = 484 + 400 - 880*cos(C)

324 = 884 - 880*Cos(C)

-560 = - 880 * cos(C)

-560 / - 880 = cos(C)

0.63636 = cos(C)

C = cos-1(0.63636)

C =50.48
