HELPP!! Part A: A cross section of the prism is cut with a plane parallel to the base. What is the name of the shape created by
the cross section? Explain your answer Part B: If a cross section of the prism is cut perpendicular to the base, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section? Explain your answer
A cross section is the shape you get when you cut straight through an object Like a prism so you will get a triangle example: In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. The cross section of a circular cylinder is a circle or a cross section of a pyramid is a rectangle. A two dimensional figure like a rectangle has two dimensions length and width. A three dimensional figure like a building has three dimensions length width and height.
