The​ length, which is equal to 8 ft
Your answer is correct.B.
The​ height, which is equal to 2 ft
C.
The​ width, which is equal to 6 ft
Part 3
What are the dimensions of the vertical cross​ section?
A.
2 fttimes6 ft
B.
2 fttimes8 ft
C.
6 fttimes8 ft

Answer 1

To answer the questions systematically:

Part 1

Side \( x \) of the vertical cross-section corresponds to:

• C. The height, which is equal to 2 ft

Part 2

Side \( y \) of the vertical cross-section corresponds to:

• A. The length, which is equal to 8 ft

Part 3

The dimensions of the vertical cross-section (height and length) would be:

• B. 2 ft × 8 ft

In summary:

• Side \( x \) is the height (2 ft).
• Side \( y \) is the length (8 ft).
• The dimensions of the vertical cross-section are 2 ft × 8 ft.
