Question 1 of 8

No calculator

A right prism has the same cross-section at every point along its perpendicular length

Its rectangular cross-section has perpendicular dimensions b = 3 cm and h = 4 cm

The prism length L, perpendicular to that cross-section, is 6 cm

Rectangular cross-section with perpendicular dimensions b of 3 cm and h of 4 cm; the prism extends perpendicular to this flat cross-sectionbh
Cross-section only, not the whole solid; schematic, not to scale; the right-angle mark identifies perpendicular dimensions b and h
