This question is not complete because it lacks the diagram of the Rectangular prism.
Answer:
Attached to this diagram is the necessary diagram
• A cross section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches.
• A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches.
• A cross section not parallel to the base that passes through opposite 6-inch edges is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by greater than 15 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A right rectangular prism is a prism that is 3 dimensional in shape and it has 6 rectangular faces.
From the attached diagram, we can see that their is a cross section that is parallel to the base, it has breadth of 8 inches and breathe of 15inches, therefore the option
"• A cross section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches." is correct.
Secondly, when we look at the diagram and check the midpoints thought the 8 inches sides , the cross section perpendicular to the base is a rectangle that has a length of 6 inches and a breadth of 15 inches . Therefore the option
"• A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches." Is correct
Thirdly, by observing the attached diaiagram,
• A cross section not parallel to the base that passes through opposite 6-inch edges is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by greater than 15 inches is correct.
