Answer:
Part A) Is a square
Part B) Is a rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
we know that
The figure show a rectangular prism with a square base
Part A) A cross section formed by a plane that intersects the prism parallel to its base would take the shape of a
we know that
A cross section is the intersection of a figure in three-dimensional space with a plane
A plane parallel to the base of a rectangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases.
so
The cross section is a square
Part B) A cross section formed by a plane that intersects the prism perpendicular to its base would take the shape of a
we know that
A plane perpendicular to the base of a rectangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its lateral faces
so
The cross section is a rectangle
Answer:
first one is triangle second one is rectangle
