A prism whose base is a 9-sided polygon is intersected by a plane. In which case could the cross section be a 10-sided polygon?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

when the plane makes a narrow angle with the base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A prism with a Nonagon as base.

To find: When a cross section be a Decagon.

Nonagon is a polygon with 9 sides

Decagon is a polygon with 10 sides.

1). when a cross section is taken parallel to the base, the cross section will be Nonagon .i.e., it will be a 9 sided polygon.

2).when a  cross section is taken perpendicular to the base, the cross section will be a rectangle.

3). when a slant cross section is taken .i.e., one with any angle other than 90° or 180° to the base. It will be a 10-sided polygon.

Answer 2
Answer: When the plane intersects the polygon at any given two adjacent sides of the base.

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

The simplified form of the given expression 9\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:4\left(3a\:+\:2b\right) is 21a+17b

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given: expression 9\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:4\left(3a\:+\:2b\right)

We have to simplify the given expression 9\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:4\left(3a\:+\:2b\right) and choose the correct option from given options.

Consider the given expression 9\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:4\left(3a\:+\:2b\right)

Apply distributive rule, a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac

We have,

=9a+9b+12a+8b

Adding like terms,

LIKE TERMS are terms having same variable with same degree.

9a+12a=21a\n\n \:9b+8b=17b

We have,

=21a+17b

Thus, The simplified form of the given expression 9\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:4\left(3a\:+\:2b\right) is 21a+17b

b) 9(a+b)+4 (3a+2b)=21a+17b
