Answer 2

Answer:

What is Prism

• A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called “bases”. 

• The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle or any other polygon. 

• Other faces of a prism are parallelograms or rectangles.

 The cross section of a geometric shape or an object is the shape obtained by cutting it straight. It is also referred to as the intersection of a plane with the three-dimensional object. The cross section of a prism parallel to the base of the prism is same as its base.
