Describe the two-dimensional shape created by slicing a rectangular pyramid parallel to the base.
Option 1: rectangle
Option 2: triangle
(1 point)
Option 1: rectangle
When a rectangular pyramid is sliced parallel to the base, the resulting two-dimensional shape created is a rectangle. This is because the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, and when the slice is made parallel to the base, the shape retains the same dimensions and properties as the base, forming a rectangle.
