Match the term with the definition. -perpendicular cross section of a pyramid -perpendicular cross section of a cylinder -parallel cross section of a sphere -shape created when a rectangle is rotated about the y-axis -shape created when a right triangle is rotated about the y-axis 1. circle 2. cylinder 3. triangle 4. cone 5. ellipse

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt finish them all, what did you get?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

post what you have so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 -4 -5 -3 -3 ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

unfortunately they are all incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

here's what a perpendicular cross section of a pyramid looks like (see the second drawing) http://intermath.coe.uga.edu/dictnary/descript.asp?termID=95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I looked at that website!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well it's definitely not a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it then?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you tell me look at the second drawing and you should be able to see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh i was looking at the wrong one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

triangle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

go ahead and re-read the others and make any fixes you can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3 -2 -4 -5 -1 ?????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for the cylinder one, look at this pic http://images.tutorvista.com/cms/images/67/cylinder-cross-section.png

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so "perpendicular cross section of a cylinder " matches up with ________

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circle?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, rectangle isn't an option when it should be so circle is the next best thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i switch those 2 and there all correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"parallel cross section of a sphere" that's either a circle or an ellipse, but circle is probably the better choice

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the last two that you have are incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but circle was the other one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

circle is definitely the answer for "perpendicular cross section of a cylinder" because rectangle isn't an answer choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me all the answers in order on here to make sure i have them right on mine.....basically checkin my answers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tell me what the last two are and I'll sum them all up for you in one post (assuming you get the next two right)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have it in order like this now triangle circle ellipse cone cylinder

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the last two are mixed up and assuming you can only choose one answer only (and you have to choose them all), then the order is triangle circle ellipse cylinder cone

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh I'm sorry about that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there must be a typo because "shape created when a rectangle is rotated about the y-axis " is definitely a cylinder
