Answer 1

For the given shapes:

1. Rectangular Pyramid:

   • The horizontal cross-section of the rectangular pyramid is a rectangle (or a square, depending on where you slice it).
   • The vertical cross-section of the rectangular pyramid is a triangle (since the vertical slice through the height will show the triangular faces).

2. Cylinder:

   • The horizontal cross-section of the cylinder is a circle.
   • The vertical cross-section of the cylinder is a rectangle (if you cut it vertically through its height).
