Awooden block in the shape of a rectangular pyramid is shown below: if a cross section of the block is cut perpendicular to the base but does not pass through the top vertex, which of the following shapes describes the cross section? triangle rectangle trapezoid hexagon

The answer is the third option, which is: Trapezoid.

The explanation for this asnwer is shown below:

1- A rectangular pyramid is a solid whose base is a rectangle and its faces are triangles.

2- When you slice or cut a solid with a plane, you obtain a shape which is known as "Cross section".

3- In this case, if these plane is perpendicular to the base but does not pass through the top vertex of the rectangular pyramid, the intersection of the plane with the pyramid, or the resulting shape will be a trapezoid.

there is nothing below so i cannot

step-by-step explanation:

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
