Worked Solution

Step 1: A rectangular prism has different dimensions: length, width, and height. Step 2: Top view shows length × width (rectangle). Step 3: Front view shows width × height (can be rectangle or square depending on dimensions). Step 4: Side view shows length × height (can be rectangle or square depending on dimensions). Step 5: The exact shapes depend on the prism's proportions.

Correct answer: Each view depends on the orientation and dimensions
