An image of a rectangular pyramid is shown below: A right rectangular pyramid is shown. Part A: A cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut with a plane parallel to the base. What is the name of the shape created by the cross section? Explain your answer. (5 points) Part B: If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section? Explain your answer. (5 points)

A rectangular pyramid is a 3-D object with a base shaped like a rectangle and triangle-shaped faces or sides that correspond to each side of the base. Like the other types of pyramids, a rectangular pyramid also has a point on top of the base of the pyramid that is joined together by bringing the top of all the sides which is known as the apx. A rectangular pyramid has a total of 5 faces, 5 vertices, and 8 edges and is of two types a right pyramid or an oblique pyramid.

According to the question

Part A: A cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut with a plane parallel to the base.

When we cut a cross section parallel to base of the rectangular pyramid which have rectangular base

The cross section will always be a rectangle.

Part B: If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex .

When we cut a cross section perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex of the rectangular pyramid

The cross section will always be a Triangle.

As the lateral face of a rectangular pyramid is a triangle, so a cross section that passes through the top vertex and the base is also a triangle.

Hence , The Part A cross section will be rectangle and Part B cross section will be triangle .
