PLEASE HELP

An image of a rectangular pyramid is shown below:

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? Explain your answer. (5 points) 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? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Part A: rectangle Part B: triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it is a rectangular prism meaning the base is a rectangle and the sides are all triangles. Parallel to the base would be the same as the base and perpendicular to the base would be the same as the sides.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
