What is the shape of the cross section of the figure that is perpendicular to the triangular bases and passes through a vertex of the triangular bases a paralle class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

The shape of the cross section of the figure that is perpendicular to the triangular bases and passes through a vertex of the triangular bases is:

                     A rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached to the answer we may clearly observe that the cross-section so obtained is a rectangle.

Also a triangle would have formed if the plane is perpendicular to the rectangular base and parallel to the triangular base.

Also, if a plane cuts a figure parallel to the given base so the cross-section so obtained is a figure parallel to it's base.

A rectangle.

Rectangle properties

From the given image, we see that it is a triangular prism and as such a section that will be perpendicular to the triangular base must have it's base horizontal on that face.

This means same will also apply on the other triangular base. This means that a rectangle will be formed
