an image of a prism is shown below:

a square prism is shown.

part a: a cross section of the prism is cut with a plane parallel to the base. what is the name of the shape created by the cross-section? (5 points)

part b: if a cross section of the prism is cut diagonal to the base, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section? (5 points)

In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane.

Part A: The name of the shape created by cross section of the prism is a square

(We don't draw the rest of the object, just the shape made when you cut through.)

if Part B is a continuation from Part A then the shape of the resulting cross section would be a square.

if Part B is completely separate from Part A then the shape of the resulting cross section would be a rectangle.

Since the wording is confusing I would, for part B, say that the shape of the resulting cross section is a rectangle regardless, because every square is always a rectangle but every rectangle is not always a square.

Part A- Square

Part B- Rectangle

Part A- Square

Part B- Rectangle
