i can't figure out how you can do that
OpenStudy (misty1212):
if it is parallel to the two sides of the base, how can it pass through the top vertex?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be X i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hold on, imma do a drawing

If it's parallel does that mean it's like on top of the two other lines or something
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the cross section is like a rectangle
OpenStudy (misty1212):
my guess is Z

So sorry about the sad drawing. The dotted thing is where the cross-section they're asking for is

that looks perpendicular to the base to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, but it's parallel to the SIDES of the base
OpenStudy (misty1212):
ooh !!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It isn't parallel to the base itself.
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so what do you get? the triangle Y?

maybe X
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Imagine a pyramid cake, if you will. and you're looking at it from the top. and you have to to cut it in half from top to bottom. What they're asking is what the side will look for.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No it's X
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Because you're cutting THROUGH the thin triangle, and the sides will be the fat triangle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sissy, do you get it?
