Gringo · Answer 1

A cross section perpendicular to the base would "cut" the prism through the height and width of the prism.

This would make a rectangle, with two sides the same length as the base (2 ft) and 2 sides the height of the prism (12 ft).

The answer would be:

A rectangle with two 12-ft sides and two 2-ft sides.

Answer with explanation:

Length of Base of Square Prism = 2 ft

This prism can be in the shape of Cube or Cuboid.

⇒Since Base of Prism is in the Shape of Square. And it is given that it is Square Prism.

So, it's Side faces will be in the shape of Square also.

⇒Option A is most appropriate.

A rectangle with two 12-ft sides and two 2-ft sides.
