Answer:

a.) a rectangle that is not necessarily a square

Step-by-step explanation:

It is definitely a rectangle.

Answer with explanation:

It is given that , the prism is a Square Prism.Let us suppose that edges of square are of Length a.

Diagonal of Square =AB

         [tex]=\sqrt{a^2+a^2}\\\\=\sqrt{2a^2}\\\\=a\sqrt{2}[/tex]

 When we join the four points, of Square prism ,A, B , C and D we get a polygon made up of four line segments,having opposite sides equal.

AB=CD=a√2

AD=BC=a

The Quadrilateral having Opposite sides equal is called Parallelogram.

Since it is a square prism,the angle between each of two adjacent edges has measure of 90°.

Now , Angle between each of two adjacent edges of Parallelogram A B CD, has measure equal to 90°, so if in a Parallelogram one angle has measure equal to 90°,it is a Rectangle.

Option (a) a rectangle that is not necessarily a square
