Answer: [tex]7\ \text{mm}^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A slice is made parallel to the base of a right rectangular pyramid.

The part of the larger rectangle that intersects the pyramid is a smaller gray rectangle.

i.e. the resulting two-dimensional cross-section is represented by smaller gray rectangle.

The front side of the smaller rectangle is labeled 3.5 millimeters, and the right side is labeled 2 millimeters.

Then, the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross-section = [tex]3.5\times2=7\ \text{mm}^2[/tex]
