What is a prism with a cross-section of a right angled triangle?
A right-angled triangular prism!
What is a cross section of a cube?
It depends on the angle of the plane of the cross section. If it is parallel to the cube's face (or equivalently, two adjacent edges) the cross section will be a square congruent to the face. If the plane is parallel to just one edge (and so angled to a face), the cross section will be a rectangle which will have a constant width. Its length will increase, remain at a maximum level and then decrease. If neither, it will be a hexagon-triangle-hexagon-triangle-hexagon (triangles when passing through a vertex).
What is the vertical cross section of a rectangular pyramid?
triangle
Which types of triangles can be formed by taking the cross-section of a cube?
Equilateral, Isosceles or Scalene. For the latter two they could be acute or right angled
What is the shape of the cross section in a square based pyramid?
It can be a square, a trapezium, a quadrilateral or a triangle - depending on the inclination of the plane which defines the cross section.
What is a prism with a cross-section of a right angled triangle?
A right-angled triangular prism!
How do you find the volume and surface area of a triangle or prism?
The Surface area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height The volume of a prism = area of its cross-section*length
Describe the cross section of a basketball vertical hortizontal and angled?
They are all circles. The vertical and horizontal have the same radius as the ball while the angled cross section has a smaller radius.

What Is a cross section of a rectangular prism?
The cross section can be a triangle, rectangle or a hexagon.
What shape is the cross section drawn through the prism?
Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
What is the formula for surface area of prism?
Assuming the cross-section is an equilateral triangle with sides of 'a' and the length is 'b' the surface area will be 3ab + SQRT(3).a2

Can the cross section of a cube be an equilateral triangle?
Yes it can.
Can you make a triangle out of a cross section for a cylinder?
No, you cannot.
