Answer:

Since the plane if cutting through the prism to make 5 sides, than the original shape needs to have less than 5.

A prism, is a 3D shape, so you can't have a 2 sided shape.

Now you have a choice of 3+or 4 sides.

A 3 sides shape is a triangle, which also can't be cut into a 5 sided prism, so the answer would need to be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a polygon?

A closed plane figure bounded by three or more straight sides that meet in pairs in the same number of vertices, and do not intersect other than at these vertices is a polygon.

What is a prism?

An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light.

Since the polygon is 5-sided, the prism must atleast have 4 sides at the base since the transition will not show 5 sides.
