Problem 1)

A trapezoid forms. See "figure1" in the attachments to get a visual idea of what I mean.

===================================================================
Problem 2)

We get a circle that forms but this circle is has a smaller radius compared to the radius of the sphere. See figure 2 (attached)

===================================================================
Problem 3)

Area of bottom face CDHG = length*width = 36*12 = 432

Any face parallel to this will have the same area. The same applies to any parallel cross section.

432 square cm

===================================================================
Problem 4)

EF = 12 ft which runs parallel to BC, so BC = 12 ft as well

area of triangle ABC = (0.5)*(base)*(height)
area of triangle ABC = (0.5)*(BC)*(AB)
area of triangle ABC = (0.5)*(12)*(5)
area of triangle ABC = 30

Any cross section parallel to face ABC will also have the same area.

30 square feet

===================================================================
Problem 5)

Using the pythagorean theorem we find that EK is roughly 6.40312 meters long

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 5^2 = c^2
c^2 = 41
c = sqrt(41)
c = 6.40312

LD = EK as they are parallel
DE = LK for the same reason

DE = 12
EK = 6.40312
LK = 12
LD = 6.40312

The perimeter of plane DEKL is roughly
P = (DE) + (EK) + (KL) + (LD)
P = (12) + (6.40312) + (12) + (6.40312)
P = 36.80624
P = 36.8

36.8

A. A rectangular pyramid that is sliced such that its cross-section is perpendicular to the base (without passing through its vertex will yield a triangle. For this question, therefore, the answer is D - Triangle.

What is a vertex?

This refers to the points of the corner of a polygon or a polyhedron. It is formed when the edges of the object intersect.

B. The shape of a cross-section that is cut out of a sphere without going through the center is called a Circle. The answer, in this case, is A.

C. The area of the cross-section that is parallel to the area CDHG is given as:

12cm x 36cm = 432cm

. This is because the area in question is a rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given as Lenght multiplied by breadth.

D. The section that is parallel to face ABC in the picture is labeled DEF. That area is a right-angle triangle. The area of a right-angle triangle is given as:

1/2 (base x height) or 1/2 (ED x FE)

This translates to:

(5ft x 12ft)/2

= 60ft/2

= 30ft.

E. The shape in question is a rectangular prism whose height is 5 meters, width 4 meters and length is 12 meters.

The length of the diagonal EK translates to $\sqrt((5^{2} )+ (4^{2}))$
