Question

A plane intersects the prism perpendicular to the base, intersecting opposite sides of the base. Which best describes the cross section?

Answer 1

Explanation:

For a rectangular prism, a plane intersecting this prism produces a two dimensional figure as its cross section and in this case the cross section is a rectangle.

For a triangular prism, a plane intersecting this prism produces a two dimensional figure as its cross section and in this case the cross section is a triangle.
