How can the name of a prism or a pyramid help you visualize the cross sections of the solid?

For example a square base pyramid has a square base so you can visualise the cross sections easily. Another example is a triangular prism, you can visualise the sections

Hope this helps kind off :)

Answer:

If you have a pyramid, you know the it's made of a triangle. If you have a prism with the name beginning with square base, then you know it's going to start with a square.
