Question

Which of the following is the shape of a cross-section of the figure shown below?

Answer 1

B. Pentagon

Explanation:

A cross-section is basically the 2D figure created by slicing through a 3D shape.

Take a look at this figure: it's a pentagonal prism. One note to remember is that for all prisms, their cross-sectional shapes are the same shapes as the shape of their bases.

Here, the two bases are pentagons, so we know the cross-section will be a pentagon.

Thus, the answer is B.
