Answer 1

You chose "triangle," which is correct. When you make a perpendicular slice through a right rectangular pyramid from the base to the apex, the resulting two-dimensional figure is a triangle. This triangle is formed by the apex of the pyramid and the points where the slice intersects the base of the pyramid. The shape of the triangle will depend on the specific location of the slice in relation to the base.
