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

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.

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25

answer: 48
