do you know what a cross section is?

anonymous · Answer

if you make a cut parallel to the base of a rectangular prism, the cross section will have the same shape as the base. The perpendicular cross section will have the same shape as the base it's parallel to.

anonymous · Answer

Yes ik what that is

anonymous · Answer

The shape of all the sides are rectangles, so cross sections cut parallel or perpendicular to them will also be rectangles
