Answer Choices
A rectangle that is 2.7 in x 8.1 in
A rectangle that is 5.4 in x 8.1 in
A circle with a diameter of 2.7 in
A circle with a diameter of 5.4 in

Please explain

Answer Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

It has to be a circle. If it scans from the top, look at the image, it would be a circle. Also, the cross section of a cylinder which is perpendicular to the base is a circle, which means it isn't the first two choices.

It has a diameter of 2.7. The reason why is because the circle (a.k.a. the base) has a diameter of 2.7. Answer choice D is not correct because I think they were trying to throw you off, the diameter of the tennis ball is 2.7, not the radius, so you do not need to multiply it by 2.

In conclusion, the answer A circle with a diameter of 2.7 in is correct.

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
