Sagot :

this is always a rectangle, because it will have 2 sides parallel the bases, and the other 2 sides are perpendicular to any line in the plane of the bases (property of a prism) this makes them parallel as well, because they are perpendicular to parallel lines and makes the shape a rectangle.
