When a right rectangular pyramid is sliced perpendicular to the base, the resulting two-dimensional shape is a triangle. This is because the slice will go through the apex of the pyramid, connecting the top point to two corresponding points on the edges of the rectangular base. Therefore, the correct response is:

**triangle**
