The horizontal cross section of a triangular prism is a triangle. When you make a horizontal cut through the prism, the shape of the cut reflects the shape of the triangular base, which is consistent throughout the height of the prism. Therefore, regardless of where the cut is made along the height, the cross section will always be a triangle identical to the base.

What shape does a triangular prism have that a recutangular prism does not havee?
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
Can a parallelogram be a cross section of a triangular prism?
Yes, a parallelogram can be a cross section of a triangular prism. When you slice through a triangular prism parallel to the base (the triangular face), the resulting cross section will be a parallelogram. This occurs because the opposite sides of the cut will be equal and parallel, characteristic of a parallelogram.
What shape is the cross section drawn through the prism?
Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
Can a triangular prism have a rectangular base or does this mean it is in fact a pyramid?
A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
Is a parallelogram cannot be a cross section of a triangular prism true?
The statement is true; a parallelogram cannot be a cross section of a triangular prism. The cross sections of a triangular prism are typically triangular or trapezoidal, depending on the orientation of the cut. While a parallelogram can be formed by certain cuts through a prism, in the case of a triangular prism, the specific shape of the bases (triangles) and the lateral faces (rectangles) restrict the cross sections to triangles and trapezoids.
What shape does a triangular prism have that a recutangular prism does not havee?
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
