When you slice a rectangular prism vertically, perpendicular to its base, the resulting two-dimensional shape is a rectangle. This occurs because the slice goes through the height of the prism and along the width or length, depending on the specific orientation of the cut. The rectangle will have dimensions that correspond to the height of the prism and either its width or length, depending on how the slice is made.
