Answer:
(D) is the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The cross section will be a quadrilateral when the intersecting plane forms a closed four sided polygon along with the pyramid.
A triangular pyramid has four faces. So, to form four straight lines and therefore a quadrilateral, the intersecting plane must intersect all four faces.
A. In this case the plane will only intersect one side of the pyramid so four sided polygon can't be formed.
B. It will only intersect the two sides of the pyramid but the cross section will not be a quadrilateral.
C. In this case the plane will intersect three sides of the pyramid so the cross section will be a triangle not a quadrilateral.
D. In this case the plane intersects all the four faces forming a closed polygon of 4 straight lines so the cross section will be a quadrilateral.
So, the Correct Option is (D) : When the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid, the cross section of the triangular pyramid will be a quadrilateral.
Given:
Height of Mountain A = 5210 feet
Distance of Mountain A from a helicopter above the peak = 1000 feet
Angle of depression:
Mountain B to helicopter = 43 degrees
Mountain B to Mountain A = 19 degrees
First, draw an illustration and label the enumerated given values.
Observe that there are two right triangles formed:
From the triangle formed by the helicopter and Mountain B,
let x = total height of mountain B
y = leg of first triangle (helicopter and mountain b)
h = hypotenuse
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
cos (43) = y / h
From the second triangle formed by mountain b and a,
cos (19) = (1000 + y) / h
solve for h and y
then, solve for the height of Mountain B:
x = 1000 + y + 5210
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
6.75+38x=1314
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
38x+6.75=534
Step 2: Subtract 6.75 from both sides.
38x+6.75−6.75=534−6.75
38x=132
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/3.
(83)*(38x)=(83)*(132)
x=523
Answer:
x=1713
Rotation 45 and rotation 90
From greatest to least it would be
