32. A right hexagonal prism is shown below: A two-dimensional cross section that is perpendicular to the base is taken from the prism. Which figure describes the two-dimensional cross section? triangle rectangle pentagon hexagon
Added by Lisa B.
Step 1
When we take a two-dimensional cross section that is perpendicular to the base, we are essentially cutting through all the lateral faces. Since all the lateral faces are rectangles, the two-dimensional cross section will also be a rectangle. Show more…

A triangular prism was sliced parallel to its base. What is the shape of the cross section shown in the figure? a triangle that has the same dimensions as either base of the prism a triangle that does not necessarily have the same dimensions as either base of the prism a parallelogram that is not a rectangle a rectangle

Consider the oblique regular pentagonal prism shown. Each side of the base measures $12 \mathrm{cm},$ and the altitude measures $12 \mathrm{cm}$. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY). Find the lateral area of the prism. (HINT: Each lateral face is a parallelogram.)
