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.
A cylinder is a 3D shape that has the same cross-section along its entire length. This means that if you slice the cylinder parallel to its bases, each cross-section will be identical to the others. Other examples include prisms, where the cross-section is a constant polygon along its height.
The horizontal cross-section of a cylinder is a circular shape. When you cut the cylinder parallel to its base, the resulting cross-section reveals a circle with a diameter equal to the cylinder's diameter. This circle represents the area of the cylinder at that particular height. The size of the circle remains constant throughout the height of the cylinder.

A cylinder does not have a rectangular cross section. Its cross sections are circular, regardless of the angle at which it is cut, as long as the cut is parallel to the base. Other shapes, like spheres or cones, also lack rectangular cross sections.
No, not all cross-section shapes that are parallel or perpendicular to one of the bases of a solid are necessarily the same. The shape of the cross-section depends on the geometry of the solid. For example, in a cylinder, the cross-sections parallel to the bases are circular, while in a prism, they may be polygonal. Each solid can produce different cross-sectional shapes based on its specific dimensions and angles.
The cross section of cylinder along its length (parallel to the axis of symmetry has the shape of a rectangle.
The shape of a transverse cross section of a cylinder is a circle.
A cylinder is a 3D shape that has the same cross-section along its entire length. This means that if you slice the cylinder parallel to its bases, each cross-section will be identical to the others. Other examples include prisms, where the cross-section is a constant polygon along its height.
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.

A cut through a right circular cylinder that is perpendicular to its altitude yields a circular cross-section. A right circular cylinder that is cut on a plane not perpendicular to its altitude but also but also not parallel to its altitude will yield an ellipse whose minor axis is the diameter of the cylinder. Trivial cases of a set of parallel lines, a single line, or the empty set occur when the cut is parallel to the altitude, externally tangent to the cylinder, or does not intersect the cylinder, respectively.

If the cylinder is standing on its flat face, the horizontal cross section is a circle. Otherwise, it is a line or a rectangle.
