Question

mateo has drawn a line to represent the parallel cross - section of the triangular prism. is he correct? explain. no, the line should be parallel to one of the rectangular faces no, the line should be parallel to the triangular faces yes, the line should be parallel to the triangular faces yes, the line should be parallel to one of the rectangular faces

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cross - section property

For a parallel cross - section of a triangular prism, the cross - section should be similar to the base (triangular face). So the cutting plane (represented by the line in 2 - D) should be parallel to the triangular faces.

Answer:

Yes, the line should be parallel to the triangular faces.
