Question

A figure is located at (2,0) (2, -3) and (5, 0) on a coordinate plane What kind of 3d shape would he created if the figure was rotated around the x axis? Include the dimensions of the 3d shape 3-d shape _____. Height _____ Diameter_____

Answer 1

ANSWER:

3-D shape: Cone.

Height: 3 units

Diameter: 6 units

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We locate these points in the Cartesian plane and we are left with the following;

If we rotate around the x-axis, in 3D the figure would be a cone

The height is given by the x-axis and the radius by the y-axis.

Therefore:

Height = 5 - 2 = 3 units

Radius = 0 - (-3) = 3 units

The diameter is equal to twice the radius, therefore, it would be equal to 6 units.

therefore, the correct answer is:

3-D shape: Cone.

Height: 3 units

Diameter: 6 units
