I believe that the crucifix and crucifixion had been around and been used for a while as a prime way of humiliation and torture. So logically it makes sense that they used it to crucify Jesus. ( it was the guillotine/ electric chair of its time)

The cross was a common method of execution by the Romans for criminals during that time. The shape of the cross was likely chosen for its ability to inflict pain and suffering, as well as to serve as a public deterrent. It also carried symbolic significance in terms of the message of Jesus' sacrifice and redemption.

Jesus' birth death and resurrection were all in God's plan. God planned that Jesus would die as a sacrifice for the sin of mankind.

So with this in mind the cross is not a bad thing.

Why did people kill Jesus Christ?

they asked the Romans to crucify Jesus, as they had no power to do that, the main reason was Jesus was getting popular. and he said he was the son of god, this angered them. Erm no actually he was sent to die for our sins (the Original Sin) and it was for God to atone for his cruelness of sending us into this evil world. But that's only a christians viewpoint so ask Muslims, Jews etc and even atheists.

How Do you make a cross section of a parallelogram from a pyramid?

It depends on the pyramid. If it is a square based pyramid, a horizontal plane will give a square cross section, a plane inclined by a rotation parallel to one of the base axes will give a rectangular cross section whereas a plane inclined by rotation along both basal axes will result in a parallelogram cross section. Not sure how you get a parallelogram from a pentagonal or hexagonal (etc) pyramid.

When a cross tile is placed on a number chart the number covered by the center square is the average of all the numbers covered no matter how large the cross is Explain why?

The number chart has to fall within certain parameters: It will be a square with odd number of tiles on the side (3*3, 5*5 etc) The numbers must be evenly spaced ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) ( 2 , 4 , 6 ) etc The centre square value will always be the average under these circumstances. Its also the median value.
