The answer is 4.

Since the plane is cutting through the prism to make five sides, then the original shape has less than five sides.

Five would work if you just slice across the prism. But, since a prism is a 3D figure, you can't have a prism with a 2-sided base.

A three-sided shape is a triangle, which also can't be cut into a 5 sided prism.

 So, the answer would need to be 4.

<span>#1) What is the minimum number of sides that the polygon at the base of the prism must have?

Answer: I believe that the minimum number of sides that the polygon tat the base of the prism must have is FIVE. The plane probably intersected a Pentagonal Prism in order to create a section that is a polygon with five sides.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer

Examine the cladogram of whales and their ancestors presented in this video. Note that this diagram does NOT show modern whales evolving from any specific fossil form, but from the common ancestors of known fossil species and modern animals. Discuss the important difference between this view of evolutionary history, and the old view  which often attempted to identify specific fossils as the ancestors of a living form.

Electricity generator is a device that is used in generating power supply which can be used in industries, homes and for commercial and private purposes.

It operates by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy for the use in an external circuit. mechanical energy can be obtained from steam turbines, internal combusting energy, gas and water turbines and it can be obtained through the rotating shaft.

The capacity of each generator determines the amount of energy it can supply to a given place.
