Answer:

Part a) Rectangle

Part b) Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) A cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut with a plane parallel to the base. What is the name of the shape created by the cross section?

we know that

When a geometric plane slices any right pyramid so that the cut is parallel to the plane of the base, the cross section will have the same shape (but not the same size) as the base, So, in the case of a right rectangular pyramid, the cross section is a rectangle

Part b)  If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section?

we know that

Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call h the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is h - 49.

The wire length d is 14 ft longer than height h, hence

d= h+14.

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse d= y+14, perpendicular  h, and base h-49; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2

which upon expanding we get:

h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196

further simplification gives

h^2-126h+2205=0,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

h =21ft\\h = 105ft.

Since the first solution h =21ft will give the triangle base length of 21ft-49ft = -28ft which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution h = 105ft.

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
