The answer is c. they are indeed vertical angles
It raining in Alaska and raining in Ohio are independent events. One does not control the other or affect the other in any way.
For two independent events (let's call them A and B), the Probability of A and B both occurring is given by P(A and B) = P(B) x P(B).
For this problem, let A = rain in Ohio and B= rain in Alaska.
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)
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.
