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).
