Answer 1

Answer:

(E)A trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the shape which is a rectangular based pyramid.

A cross-section is cut but it does not pass through the top vertex of the pyramid.

• The shape formed will have two parallel unequal sides (the base and the top)
• However, the other two sides will be slant.

Therefore, the shape which describes the cross-section will be a trapezoid.
