Describe the two-dimensional shape made by slicing a rectangular prism vertically perpendicular to the base
1 answer
The two-dimensional shape made by slicing a rectangular prism vertically perpendicular to the base would be a rectangle. This is because the slice would cut through all the layers of the prism, creating a flat shape that has the same width as the base of the prism and the same length as the height of the prism. The resulting shape would have four sides and four right angles, with opposite sides being equal in length.
