An image of a rectangular prism is shown below: A rectangular prism is shown. Part A: If a cross section of the prism is cut perpendicular to the base, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section? Explain your answer. (5 points) Part B: If a cross section of the prism is cut diagonal to the base, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section? Explain your answer. (5 points)

A cross section is the shape you get when you cut straight through an object Like a prism so
you will get a triangle example:
In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. The cross section of a circular cylinder is a circle or a cross section of a pyramid is a rectangle. A two dimensional figure like a rectangle has two dimensions length and width. A three dimensional figure like a building has three dimensions length width and height.
