Answer: The answer is Square.

A cube has sides constructed as 2 Dimensional squares. A pyramid has cross sections of triangles, so they do not have the same shape as a cross section. The answer is square.

Answer: Square

The cross section of a cube would be a square, because cubes are made of 2D squares. The cross section of a pyramid would be triangles because they are made of a top with triangles.

The answer is square. Hope this helps!
