Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven : A regular pentagonal prism is sliced parallel to its bases.
A prism's cross-section will always take on the same shape as the base when it is sliced by a plane that is parallel to it.
As the base of the prism is a pentagon with five sides, the cross-section will also have five sides i.e. pentagon-shaped.
Hence, "Pentagon" is the correct answer.
