The cross section that results, is a triangle.

Explanation:

Cross section is a shape that forms when a slice or a cut is made through a solid.

A solid can have multiple cross sections depending on where you slice the solid.

Cross section perpendicular to the base of a solid will result in triangles.Cross sections parallel to the base of the solid will result in hexagons and so on.

Cross section help in representing three dimension objects in a two dimension way.
