What is the 2d parallel shape that's a cross section of a cylinder?

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.

What is the shape of the cross section taken perpendicular to the base of a cylinder?

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.
