If the cylinder is standing on its flat face, the horizontal cross section is a circle. Otherwise, it is a line or a rectangle.
If you're talkin about sumthin like a soup can then its a cylinder
It is a cylinder since it has three bases of measurement rather than the two that a circle has.
A rainbow is an example of an arc shape, as is any object or drawing that has a curve conforming to a section of the the circumference of a circle.
Ah, a cube is a wonderful shape with 12 edges in total. Now, when we talk about horizontal edges specifically, we're looking at the edges that run parallel to the ground, and a cube has 4 of those lovely horizontal edges. Just imagine those edges catching the light and creating beautiful shadows as they sit so peacefully on the tabletop.
A square or rectangle has all right angles. More complex shapes can also have all right angles, notably forms such as the outline "cross" (e.g. Red Cross), which is an irregular dodecagon having twelve sides. The Greek cross is equilateral, the Latin cross is not.
The shape of a transverse cross section of a cylinder is a circle.
It is sometimes referred to as the shape's "plan".
The cross section of cylinder along its length (parallel to the axis of symmetry has the shape of a rectangle.
The 2D parallel shape that represents a cross section of a cylinder is a circle. When a cylinder is sliced parallel to its base, each cross section reveals a circular shape, regardless of where the cut is made along the height of the cylinder. This circular cross section maintains the same diameter as the bases of the cylinder.
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.

The shape of the cross section taken perpendicular to the base of a cylinder is a circle. This circular cross section is consistent regardless of the height at which the cut is made, as long as the cut is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. The radius of the circle corresponds to the radius of the cylinder's base.
