Question

20 Pts!! PLZ help!!! Plz post picture with answer! What does the cross section of a rectangular prism look like?

Answer 1

I've attached a picture of what a cross section would look like in different figures. A cross section is the shape made when a plane cuts through a solid.

The cross section of a rectangular prism; parallel to the base would be a rectangle and perpendicular to the base would also be a rectangle.

Cross sections parallel to the base take the shape of the $\boxed {base}$.

Cross sections perpendicular to the base take the shape of the $\boxed {lateral~ face}$.

Cross sections at a diagonal to the base make a$\boxed {stretched~out~base}$.
