Question

An image of a rectangular prism is shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

If a cross section of the prism is cut perpendicular to the base, it will be a horizontal cut along the middle. This will result in a rectangular prism shape for the cross section.

Part B

If a cross section of the prism is cut diagonal to the base, it’s being cut on an angle. The shape of the cross section would make a triangular prism due to the way it was cut.
