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

Answer 1

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.
