Question

The cross section of a square pyramid taken perpendicular to the base produces which two-dimensional shape?

Answer 1

The cross-section that is obtained when slicing of a square pyramid is done perpendicular to base is:

Triangle.

Explanation:

A square pyramid is a pyramid whose base is in the shape of a square.

The square pyramid has 5 faces.

one face is a square and the other four faces are a triangle.

Hence, when the slicing is done perpendicular to the base then the cross-section that is obtained on this slicing will be a similar figure as it's triangular face but may be of different dimensions.

Hence, we will obtain a triangle.

Answer 2

The cross section of a square pyramid taken perpendicular to the base produces a triangle. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
