The base of a cube is horizontal. A plane cuts through the cube, creating a pentagon-shaped cross section. The plane is _1_ and
may pass through a pair of adjacent _2_ of the base. Options for 1: a.vertical b.slanting Options for 2: a.vertices b.sides
1 answer:
For this problem, imagine a cube laying flat on the floor. If you zoom in on this, it would show a full square. The cutting plane should be able to form a cross-sectional shape of a pentagon. This is a closed figure comprising of 5 sides. The cutting plane should not be vertical. If it was, then it would only for a linear cross section. If it is horizontal, it would superimpose on the square base. So, if the cutting plane is slanting, it would form a pentagon cross section as shown in the right side of the picture attached. Then, it would pass between two adjacent vertices, and three adjacent sides. So, the complete statement would be:

Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression given is: sec β - cos β ( i will write "beta" instead of the symbol β)
<em>We know that </em>
<em>Substituting this into the the expression and doing some algebra manipulation, we have:</em>
<em>Using the identity (also
), we can now write:</em>
<em>We know , substituting this, we have:</em>
