Final answer:

A triangular pyramid cut parallel to its base forms a triangle cross section.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a triangular pyramid is cut parallel to its base, the cross section formed is a triangle.

This is because the cutting plane is parallel to the base of the pyramid, which is a triangular shape.

The resulting cross section will have the same shape as the base of the pyramid.
