Based on your description, the sliced object is created by connecting points on a triangular face of a 3D rectangular prism with the top edge. The resultant shape formed by the intersection or slicing of the object is likely a triangle, as you are connecting three points that are not coplanar with the rest of the prism.

Therefore, the correct response is:

triangle
