<u>Answer </u>

The shape of the cross section is Hexagon.

Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation </u>

The given pyramid is pentagonal pyramid. The cross section of pentagonal pyramid is a pentagon.

But in the given figure a plane cuts a pyramid in a different way. After cutting the shape of the cross section will have six sides.

So it will be a hexagon. All sides are not equal so it is not a regular hexagon.

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.58(4.2)}{2})^2 =29.35 \approx 30$

So the answer for this case would be n=30 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$ME = 2$ the margin of error desired

$\sigma =4.2$ standard deviation from previous studies

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =2 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance level is $\alpha=0.01$ and the critical value would be $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.58(4.2)}{2})^2 =29.35 \approx 30$

So the answer for this case would be n=30 rounded up to the nearest integer

It takes Evan 6 3/4 hours to mow 3 lawns. it takes him 2 1/3 hours to mow Mr. Smiths yard and 1 3/4 hours to mow Ms. Lee's yard.

Ratling [72]

Answer: $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total time taken by Evan to mow the 3 lawns = $6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the first lawn = $2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the second lawn = $1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Now,Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{27}{4}-\frac{7}{3}-\frac{7}{4}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{81-28-21}{12}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Hence, the time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$
