Show that every section of the prism made by a plane parallel to its lateral is edge is a parallelogram
A hexagonal prism consists of two parallel hexagonal bases connected by six rectangular lateral faces. The edges of the hexagonal bases are parallel to each other, and the lateral edges connecting the bases are also parallel. This geometric configuration ensures that the vertical height of the prism remains consistent, creating a uniform shape. The parallel lines in this context refer to the corresponding edges of the hexagons and the lateral edges that maintain the prism's structure.
A trapezoid is a shape that has one pair of parallel faces, specifically in the case of a trapezoidal prism. This three-dimensional figure has two trapezoidal bases that are parallel, while its lateral faces are rectangular, creating perpendicular edges between the bases and the lateral faces.
A prism has edges that are formed by the intersection of its faces. Specifically, a prism features three types of edges: the lateral edges, which connect the corresponding vertices of the two parallel bases; and the base edges, which are the edges of the two bases themselves. The total number of edges in a prism is equal to the number of edges in one base multiplied by two, plus the number of lateral edges. For example, a triangular prism has 9 edges: 3 from each triangular base and 3 lateral edges connecting the bases.
A parallelogram is a 4 sided quadrilateral
Planes are not necessarily drawn as parallelograms. The Cartesian plane is drawn as a rectangle and, contrary to what the previous answerer [ignorantly] claimed, it does have a ninety degree angle where the axes meet. The representation of a plane in 3-d space is often depicted as a parallelogram in much the same way that the drawing of a cube has parallelograms for its lateral faces. A parallelogram is a compromise between lines of perspective (which should meet at the centre of perspective) and the wish to maintain the parallel nature of these edges.

There are 10 parallel lateral edges. And ten parallel edges between the two bases. There could be more - within each decagon, but that depends on the decagons, and details of these are not given.

A parallelogram is an quadrilateral (a figure with four edges and four vertices) with two sets of parallel sides. A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium, is a shape with four sides with a pair of parallel sides.
4 parallel edges
It has two parallel edges
A heptagonal prism has 7 lateral edges. This is because a heptagonal prism consists of two heptagonal bases connected by vertical edges, and each vertex of the heptagonal base corresponds to a lateral edge. Since a heptagon has 7 sides, there are 7 lateral edges in total.
