If we slice the vertically the rectangular pyramid, we get a triangle with the base equal to the one of the dimensions of the rectangle, most probably the width. The height of the triangle, however, is dependent as to how far from the center is the slice cut off. Thus, the answer is same shape but of different sizes.
