In the cube shown below, the distance between vertices 2 and 6 is 17 cm.

If the cube is divided into two equal parts by a plane parallel to the face defined by vertices 2, 3, 6, and 7, what will be the area of the cross-section?

256 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

cube is a three-dimensional figure with six congruent square faces. Since each face is congruent, each of the edges have the same length.

The cross-section described is shown below.

The cross-section is also a square which is congruent to the other faces of the cubes. Therefore, the edges of the cross-section will each measure 16 cm. Find the area by using the formula for the area.

           A=lw

               =(16cm) (16cm)

                  =256 sq cm  

So, the area of the cross-section is 256 sq cm.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
