Depending on the inclination of the plane used for the cross-section, it could be a square, rectangle, trapezium, triangle.

What two cross sections are possible when slicing a square pyramid vertically?
A trapezium or a triangle. If the pyramid is a right pyramid then they would both be isosceles.
Can a square pyramid have all triangle faces?
The answer is no. A square pyramid can not have all triangle faces because the base of this particular pyramid would be a square.
Does a pyramid have eight edges?
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.

What is the base of the shape triangular pyramid?
a square * * * * * That would be a square pyramid! A triangular pyramid would have ... wait for it ... a TRIANGULAR base! Worth waiting for, wasn't it?
Can a cube be a rectangular prism?
A cube cannot be a rectangular prism, as the cross section of this prism would be a rectangle, as opposed to a square. A square prism (if that is what it is called) could be a cube, but is not necessarily.
What shape would you have if you made a horizontal cross-section of a square pyramid?
a square

A trapezium or a triangle. If the pyramid is a right pyramid then they would both be isosceles.
How would you slice the cube to get a square cross section?
Along any edge

What is a meant by cross section?
Imagine that you wanted to cut a globe or a sphere exactly in half. When you looked at the cut you would see an exact circle on both pieces. This area would be the cross-section. You could work out the area of this cross-section by using A = Pi X r squared. But be careful. Don't assume that the cross sectional area is the same no matter where you cut. If you cut the globe at some other point, say near to the edge, the cross-section (the circular area that you would see) would be a lot smaller. You would come across a uniform cross-section if you cut a cable. No matter where you cut the cable the cross-section should be roughly the same. Also cross section doesn't have to be circular. The cross-section you get really depends on the original shape you are dealing with. If you cut a cube in half, you would get a square cross-section. So I guess you could imagine the term as applying to cutting across (hence cross) something to reveal 2 sections (hence section).
What is 2 squares and 4 rectangles as a 3d shape?
A square cross-section cuboid would fit the given description
What is the cross section of a basketball?
A basketball is a sphere so a cross-section would be a circle.

What kind of pyramid is the Great Pyramid?
If you're talking about the shape.. it would have to be square-based pyramid.
What if the base of the square pyramid was a 8 by 8?
then you would have a perfect square
