The best answer would be c. because the cross section would make the shape and the dimension of the shape. hope this help*)

Answer:

The correct answer is:

C.) A triangular prism when sliced parallel to its base.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a triangular prism consists of 2 triangular shapes and three rectangular shapes.

We know that we can never obtain a cross-section similar to the base when the slicing is done perpendicular to it's base.

We know that when we slice a triangular pyramid parallel to the base than we will obtain a triangle of smaller dimensions.

But when we slice a triangular prism parallel to the base than we obtain a cross-section that is similar to the base of a triangular prism.

Hence, the correct answer is Option: C)

Can anyone help me? Which function is graphed on the right?

Kazeer [188]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$y=2^{\left(x-2\right)}+3$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to start with the parent function of the exponential function, which is $f(x)=a^x$ , where $a$ is the base. In our problem, $a=2$ , so our parent function here is $y=2^x$ . Then, we need to perform some transformations to our parent function. Thus:

1. Vertical shrink:

A vertical shrink is a nonrigid transformation because the graph of the function get a distortion in the shape, so this transformation is as follows:

$g(x)=cf(x)$
