Question

A right rectangular pyramid is sliced horizontally (across) at the red line by a plane parallel to the base. What is the shape of the cross-section? vertex A base A. Cube OB. Trapezoid C. Triangle D. Rectangle

Answer 1

The shape of the cross-section will be a trapezoid

Here, we want to get the shape of the right rectangular pyramid sliced horizontally across the red line

What we simlpy get is the shape below the red line

Upon slicing, what we get will be a shape that looks like a trapezoid

Hence, the correct selection is a trapezoid
