Treat a prism as a stack of congruent layers parallel to its base. A slicing plane with that same orientation meets corresponding lateral edges at the same relative height, so the base's side directions, angles, and lengths are preserved in the intersection. Classify the resulting two-dimensional boundary and distinguish it from the original three-dimensional solid.
