Apentagonal prism is cut by a plane perpendicular to the base. what is the shape of the cross section that is formed?

a) a pentagon with one pair of equal sides

b) a trapezoid with one pair of parallel sides

c) a rectangle

d) a triangle

e) a hexagon

random answers will be reported!

A rectangle

Note: I am a bit confused between A), B), and C), but the answer I am going for is C).

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a cross-section is the intersection of a plane and a body of three dimensions.

A pentagonal prism has a pentagon as its base. and its lateral faces are rectangles.

If a plane perpendicular cuts the pentagonal prism to the base, this means that the plane is parallel to lateral faces, then, the shape of the cross-section that is formed is also a rectangle.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

e) none of the above because the measure of angle cba is 101°
