I NEED HELP ASAP A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex.

What is the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section?

Enter you answer in the box.

cm²

The figure is a square pyramid. Two sides of the square base are labeled 15 centimeters. A plane intersects the pyramid through the pyramids vertex and base. The plane is perpendicular to the pyramids base. A shaded triangle appears in the interior of the pyramid and lies on the intersecting plane. The height of this triangle is labeled 34 centimeters and is equal to the height of the pyramid. The base of the triangle is equal to the side length of the pyramids square base.

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

alright so i think for this one it would to draw it out. this may be hard for me to try and draw, but i will do my best on here:

        r

  /       |     \

notice how it forms 2 triangles inside one bigger triangle.

so if we know the angle spr is the same as psr that is saying the measure of angle p is the same as angle s. this means the big triangle psr is either isosceles or equilateral. in both cases, the triangle is perfectly symmetrical when split down the middle, which is in this case rq. because we know it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides, we know that the two triangles inside the bigger one are equal.
