ANSWER

• A vertical plane that cuts through the top vertex, perpendicular to the base,: ,triangle

,

• A horizontal plane, that cuts through the pyramid, parallel to the base:, ,square

,

• A vertical plane that cuts through the base and two opposite lateral faces:, ,trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation

• A vertical plane that cuts through the top vertex, perpendicular to the base,: if we draw a rectangle perpendicular to the base that passes through the vertex,

Hence, the cross-sectional shape is a triangle.

• A horizontal plane, that cuts through the pyramid, parallel to the base:, if it is a plane parallel to the base, then it should have the same shape as the base,

Hence, the cross-sectional shape is a square.

• A vertical plane that cuts through the base and two opposite lateral faces:, again, we can draw this plane. The cross-sectional shape will have one pair of parallel sides and one pair of non-parallel sides,

Hence, the cross-sectional shape is a trapezoid.
