if the given figure is sliced through points j, k, and l, which best describes the shape of the resulting cross - section?
a. rectangle
b. parallelogram
c. trapezoid
d. triangle

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

• A rectangle has four right angles.
• A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.
• A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
• A triangle has three sides.

Step2: Analyze cross - section

When slicing through the given three - dimensional figure (likely a triangular prism or similar) at points J, K, L, the cross - section has one pair of parallel sides.

Answer:

C. trapezoid
