To answer this question, it is enough to find the volume of a rectangular prism.
The volume of a rectangular prism is:
[tex]V = Ab * h
[/tex]
Where,
Ab: base area
h: height
The area of the base is:
[tex]Ab = w * l
[/tex]
Where,
w: width
l: long
We observe that the area of the base is a rectangle, therefore, the section parallel to the base is also a rectangle.
Answer:
The cross section cut parallel to the base of a right rectangular prism is:
Rectangle
