describe the two dimensional shape made by slicing a rectangular prism vertically, perpendicular to the base

Answer 1

The two-dimensional shape made by slicing a rectangular prism vertically, perpendicular to the base, is a rectangle. This slice cuts through the height and width of the prism, creating a shape with two sets of parallel sides and four right angles. The length of the rectangle is equal to the height of the prism, and the width is equal to the depth of the prism.
