a nonrectangular parallelogram with two 12-ft sides and two 2-ft sides

Answer:

A cross section perpendicular to the base would "cut" the prism through the height and width of the prism.

This would make a rectangle, with two sides the same length as the base ( 2 ft) and 2 sides the height of the prism ( 12 ft).

The answer would be:

A rectangle with two 12-ft sides and two 2-ft sides.
