Answer 1

A right rectangular prism has rectangular faces, with opposite faces that are equal and parallel, and right angles between adjacent faces.

Among the options provided:

• Figure a (triangular pie wedge) does not have rectangular faces.
• Figure b (rectangular book) has rectangular faces and meets the criteria.
• Figure c (house) does not have rectangular faces; it has slanted sides.
• Figure d (shopping cart) does not have the shape of a right rectangular prism; it is more complex.

Therefore, the object that has the attributes of a right rectangular prism is:

b (the rectangular book).
