Question

question 15(multiple choice worth 1 points) (06.04 lc) what is the cross - section of a right square pyramid that is parallel to the base? kite trapezoid triangle square

Explanation:

A right square pyramid has a square base. When a cross - section is taken parallel to the base, the shape of the cross - section will be similar to the base. Since the base is a square, the cross - section parallel to the base will also be a square. A kite has two distinct pairs of adjacent sides equal, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, and a triangle is a three - sided figure, none of which match the cross - section parallel to the square base of a right square pyramid.

Answer:

Square (the option with "Square" as the text)
