Question

Which types of triangles can be formed by taking the cross section of a rectangular prism lowly eh one shown above

Answer 1

I think the answer is a

Answer 2

A) Equilateral, isosceles and scalene.

Explanation:

Imagine a plane that intersects three edges of a rectangular prism. There are three possibilities:

• the plane intersects the prism at points equidistant from a common vertex, forming an equilateral triangle.

• the plane intersects the prism at 2 points equidistant from a common vertex, and intersects a third edge at a different distance from the same vertex, forming an isosceles triangle.

• the plane intersects the prism at points that are all at different distances from a common vertex, forming a scalene triangle.
