Respuesta :

Answer: Square

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the dimension of the given rectangular prism is 10 × 4 × 4

If a cross section of the paperweight is cut perpendicular to the base,

Then the dimension of the resultant quadrilateral is, 4 × 4

That is, the length and breadth is equal,

And the angles are of 90° each,

Which is the condition of a square,

Therefore, the resultant shape will be square.

⇒ Third Option is correct.

The cross section of the paperweight when cut perpendicularly to the base is a square.

Given the following data:

  • Length of rectangular prism = 10 cm.
  • Width of rectangular prism = 4 cm.
  • Height of rectangular prism = 4 cm.

How to determine the resultant shape.

We know that the shape of this paperweight is a right rectangular prism. Also, the base area of the paperweight is cut perpendicularly.

This ultimately implies that, the paperweight's length would be removed while its height and width remains, which corresponds to the dimensions (length and width) of a four-shaped object or quadrilateral with an angle of 90 degrees each.

In conclusion, the cross section of the paperweight when cut perpendicularly to the base is a square.
