Q. A right pentagonal prism is pictured below. Select the type of cross section formed when the figure is cut parallel to its base.\newlinesquare\newlinecircle\newlinehexagon\newlinepentagon
  1. Identify base shape: Identify the shape of the base of the right pentagonal prism.\newlineSince it is a pentagonal prism, the base is a pentagon.
  2. Understand cross section: Understand the nature of the cross section when the cut is made parallel to the base.\newlineA cross section made parallel to the base of a prism will have the same shape as the base.
  3. Determine cross section shape: Determine the shape of the cross section based on the previous step.\newlineSince the base of the prism is a pentagon, the cross section will also be a pentagon.
