Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangular prism, a plane intersecting this prism produces a two dimensional figure as its cross section and in this case the cross section is a rectangle.

For a triangular prism, a plane intersecting this prism produces a two dimensional figure as its cross section and in this case the cross section is a triangle.
