Question

the figure below shows a cross - sectional cut made through a right cone. which best describes the shape of triangle opq? image of a right cone with triangle opq options: isosceles but not necessarily equilateral; acute but not necessarily equilateral; equilateral; right isosceles

Explanation:

In a right cone, the slant height from the apex (O) to any point on the base circumference (like P and Q) is equal. So \( OP = OQ \), making triangle \( OPQ \) isosceles. There's no info to confirm all sides (or angles) are equal, so it's isosceles but not necessarily equilateral.

Answer:

A. Isosceles but not necessarily equilateral
