Question

A cube is sliced as shown. Find the area of the cross section formed by the slice.

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

what you gotta do is multiply 5 * 7 to get 35

Answer 2

Answer: 5√(50) = 35.36 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section is a rectangle, so its area formula is: Area = length * width.

If you look, the width is the diagonal of the side of the cube; thus, you can use Pythagorean theorem to find its measurement: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 → 5^2 + 5^2 = c^2 →

50 = c^2 → c = √(50)

Now, use the area formula and get: Area = 5 * √(50) = 5√(50) = 35.36 m^2 :)
