Answer:

Slicing off the top of a pyramid such that the cross section is parallel to the base of the pyramid gives the same shape as the shape of the base of the pyramid.

Explanation:

Given a block in the shape of a pyramid with a square base, a slice off the top of the pyramid to get a cross section parallel to the base will result in the shape of the cross section being equivalent to the shape of the base of the pyramid.
