Question

A plane intersects a prism parallel to the base of the prism. The cross section is a polygon with eight sides. How many sides does the base of the prism have?

hi

Answer 2

so u have an upright prism (so like a column) thats cut horizontally
and the cut would then be exactly like the base

Answer 3

so the base should look exactly like the cut piece, so should also have 8 sides
