The shape formed, when a prism with a heart-shaped base is sliced parallel to the base, will be congruent to its base. Hence, it will also be heart-shaped.
A prism is a polyhedron made up of n parallelogram faces that connect the n-sided polygon base, the second base, which is a translated duplicate of the first base, and the n faces. The bases are translated into all cross-sections that are parallel to them.
In the question, we are informed that a prism with a heart-shaped base is sliced parallel to the base.
We are asked what shape is formed.
From the above discussion, we know that the bases are translated into all cross-sections that are parallel to them, that is, all cross-sections parallel to the base, will be congruent to the base.
Thus, the shape formed, when a prism with a heart-shaped base is sliced parallel to the base, will be congruent to its base. Hence, it will also be heart-shaped.
