Question 16 of 32 A right circular cone is intersected by a plane that passes through the cone's
vertex and is parallel to its base, as in the picture below. What is produced
from this intersection?
O A. A point
O B. A parabola
O C. A pair of parallel lines
D. A pair of intersecting lines

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23

3,750 deer

step-by-step explanation:

1,500 is 15 times larger than 100

lets make 250 15 times larger.

3750 deer

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
