A right rectangular prism with length 15 inches, width of 8 inches, and height of 6 inches. A cross section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches. A cross section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 6 inches. A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches.

Answer 1

The correct options are (1), (2) and (4).

Explanation:

If the cross-section of a right rectangular prism parallel to its base then the cross section is a rectangle.

If the cross section of a right rectangular prism perpendicular to its base then the cross section is a rectangle.

It is provided that a right rectangular prism has a rectangular base measuring 15 inches by 8 inches.

Then the right rectangular prism could have:

• Dimensions: Length = 15 inches, Width = 8 inches and Height = 6 inches.
• A cross section parallel to the base which is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches.
• A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches.

Thus, the correct options are (1), (2) and (4).
