When a rectangle is sliced at an angle through one of its corners, the resulting shape is a parallelogram. This is because a parallelogram is a four-sided figure with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. In this case, the two sides of the sliced rectangle that are not parallel are equal in length and the other two sides are parallel, making it a parallelogram.
