Question

choose the 2d shape created from the cross section. triangle hexagon rectangle trapezoid

Explanation:

The figure is a rectangular prism (a box - shaped 3D figure). When a plane cuts through a rectangular prism parallel to its faces (or in a way that intersects the faces at right angles), the cross - section will be a rectangle. A triangle would require a non - parallel, angled cut that meets at a vertex, a hexagon would require a more complex cut through multiple edges in a specific way, and a trapezoid would require a cut that is not parallel to the faces and creates non - right - angled sides. Since the cutting plane here is parallel to the vertical faces of the rectangular prism, the cross - section is a rectangle.

Answer:

Rectangle
