✓We were given the dimension of the rectangular prism as 10cm × 4cm × 4cm,

✓The cross section of the paperweight can be cut into half to it's base. Then the new dimension will be 4cm × 4cm which is a quadrilateral.

✓ Then width= 4cm, and height=4 cm are of the same values, hence the shape it forms is a SQUARE. and also the their angles is 90° each.
