Which of the following figures could represent the cross section of a rectangular pyramid? Select all that apply. A.

Circle
B.

Cube
C.

Rectangle
D.

Square
E.

Triangle

Options C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A. Circle

We can't get a cross section in the form of a circle.

Option B. Cube

We can't get a cross section in the form of a cube.

Option C. Rectangle

When we slice a rectangular pyramid parallel to the base but not through the vertex, we get a Rectangle.

Option D. Square

We can not get a square by slicing a rectangular pyramid.

Option E. Triangle

By slicing a rectangular pyramid perpendicular to the base and passing through the vertex we can get the cross section in the form of  triangle.

Options C and E will be the answer.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
