Question

What is the two dimensional shape created by slicing a right rectangular pyramid from the side?
Trapezoid
Triangle
Square
Rectangle

Answer 1

Slicing a right rectangular pyramid from the side typically creates a triangle. When you make a vertical slice through one of the triangular faces, the resulting 2D shape will be a triangle. If you slice parallel to the base, you might get a trapezoid, but the standard side cut would produce a triangle. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**Triangle**.
