Question

all the edges of the object in the diagram are equal in length. the object is cut by a vertical plane containing a and b and bisecting two of the horizontal edges. what is the shape of the cross - section resulting from the cut? a. a square b. a regular hexagon c. an equilateral triangle d. a rhombus

Explanation:

Visualize the vertical - cut through the object. When a vertical plane containing two points and bisecting two of the horizontal edges cuts an object with equal - length edges, we consider the properties of different shapes. A square has four equal - length sides. If the cross - section is made in the described way for a suitable object, it can result in a square cross - section. A regular hexagon would not result from such a cut, an equilateral triangle also does not match the described cut for an object with equal - length edges in this context, and a rhombus is not the typical result of this vertical cut.

Answer:

A. a square
