Answer:
dimension is 5cm * 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
As the plane is parallel to the base, the ratio between plane's length and width is equal to the ratio of that of the base. -> similar shape.
Moreover, it also divided the rectangular prism into 2 smaller rectangular prism. hence the plane is identical to the base. Hence, same dimension.
