A right rectangular prism has a length of 9 inches, a width of 10 inches, and a height of 11 inches. If a plane slices the prism in half, parallel to its smallest face, which of the following describes the shape of the two-dimensional cross-section?
A.
a 10-inch by 11-inch rectangle
B.
a 9-inch by 10-inch rectangle
C.
a 10-inch by 10-inch square
D.
a 9-inch by 11-inch square
are you sure?
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct answer is:
B. a 9-inch by 10-inch rectangle
When a right rectangular prism is sliced in half parallel to its smallest face, the resulting cross-section will be a rectangle with dimensions matching the length and width of the prism.
