Hi guys I got given this stupid riddle and for the life of me I can't work it out. If I get a cube and I hang it by a corner and cut it perfectly down the middle, what shape will the cross section be I get? It is a Isosceles Trapiziod?

I actually feel rather stupid for not getting this right the first time. If you put the cross-section against the floor, you will have two full sides of the cube pointing upwards like a roof on a house, and two halves of the original sides pointing straight up to meet the full sides. If that makes any sense. Just imagine the top of a house.
