3) The area of the base of a cone is 16 and the height is 10. Find the area of a parallel cross section that is a distance 5 from the vertex.

5) The following pyramids have equal altitudes and both bases are equal in area. The cross sections are the same distance from the vertices. If BC = and B'C' = and the area of TUVWXYZ is 30 units2, what is the area of cross section A'B'C'D'?

Let's Sum it Up!- Pyramids are general cones with polygonal bases.- The cross-section of a cone parallel to the base is similar to the base.- The area of the similar region should be the area of the original figure times the square of the scale factor.

General cone cross-section theorem: If two general cones have the same base area and the same height, then cross-sections for the general cones that are the same distance from the vertex have the same area.
