Question

The intersection of the prism and the plane is a _______

cross section.

Trapezoid
Rectangle
Square

Answer 1

Rectangle

Explanation:

The cross-section will result in a face, that looks just like the top face, since the cut + face are parallel. And because that face is rectangular, so will the cross-section.

Answer 2

Rectangle

Explanation:

Given : A prism and a plane

To Find : The intersection of the prism and the plane is a _______ cross section.

Solution:

We are given a rectangular prism

Let length be l , breadth be b and height be h

When the prism is intersected by plane , The height becomes 0 .

Length and breadth will remain same

So, the obtained figure is rectangle

So, Option B is true .

Hence The intersection of the prism and the plane is a rectangle cross section.
