Answer:

The cross-section parallel to the base is a hexagon congruent to the hexagonal bases. The cross-section perpendicular to the base is a rectangle. The cross-section parallel to the base is a pentagon similar to the pentagonal base. The solid is a cylinder.

Answer:

Hexagons, Cross sections parallel to the base will be hexagons. It is also possible to take cross sections using planes that are neither parallel not perpendicular to the base
