The answer depends on the orientation of the plane that cuts the cube.

If the plane is parallel to a face of the cube then you will have two square based prisms.

If the plane inclined to two of the cubes faces but perpendicular to the third it will be two parallelepipeds.

If the plane passes through one pair of adjacent vertices as well as the opposite pair, it will be two triangular (right angled-isosceles) prisms.

It could also be two hexahedra with two pairs of parallel but non-congruent faces.

What solid figure would you get if you cut a cube in half?

If you were to cut a cube in half along any plane passing through its center, you would get two equal halves of a cube. Each half would still have the shape of a cube with the same dimensions, just split into two separate pieces. The resulting solid figures would be two smaller cubes.

What cube cut in half is called?

A cube cut in half is commonly referred to as a rectangular prism, specifically a cuboid. When a cube is divided, it typically results in two equal rectangular prisms, each with dimensions that reflect half the volume of the original cube. The exact terminology may vary based on the orientation of the cut.

What shape do you get when cut a 3d cube vertically?

When you cut a 3D cube vertically, the shape you obtain is a rectangular prism, provided that the cut is made parallel to one of the cube’s faces. If the cut is made at an angle, the resulting shape could be a more complex polygon. However, slicing through the vertices or edges can create various cross-sections, but they will still maintain a rectangular or polygonal profile when viewed from the cut's face.
