What is the intersection of a solid and a plane parallel to the base or bases of the solid?
It is a horizontal cross-section. Its shape will depend on the shape of the solid and its orientation.
Which describes all cross-sections of a square pyramid where the intersecting plane is parallel to the base?
there are no square pyramids. they are not of the same
What are the vertical and horizontal cross sections of a rectangular pyramid?
The vertical cross sections are trapezia or triangles. The horizontal cross sections are rectangles which are mathematically similar to the base.
What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
What is the shape of the slice of cake cut parallel to a base of a cube?
It depends which orientation the cube has to the cake and which shape the cake is. However, assuming you meant a cube shaped cake was cut parallel to its base: It will be a cuboid.
What describes all cross sections of a square pyramid where the intersecting plane is parallel to the base?
All cross sections of a square pyramid that are parallel to the base are squares
What is a cross section of a cone?
Circle: If the knife is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.Ellipse: If the knife is between (perpendicular to the axis of the cone) and (parallel to the side of the cone).Parabola: If the knife is between (parallel to the side of the cone) and (parallel to the axis of the cone).Hyperbola: If the knife is parallel to the axis of the cone.Triangle: If the knife is perpendicular to the base of the cone.Point: If the knife is parallel to the base the cone and through the apex

What solid figure has the same cross section when its sliced by a plane parallel to its base as when it is sliced by a plane perpendicular to its base?
Sphere
What solid has cross sectional shapes taken to parallel to a base that are similar but not congruent to one another?
A tapered prism.
What are the vertical and horizontal cross sections of a rectangular pyramid?
The vertical cross sections are trapezia or triangles. The horizontal cross sections are rectangles which are mathematically similar to the base.
What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is a?
The answer would be a right cylinder. A right cylinder is a cylinder that has a closed circular surface having two parallel bases on both the ends and whose elements are perpendicular to its base.
What are similarities between cone and pyramid?
(The cone I am referring to in the comparison below to a pyramid is not the mathematical cone, but a truncated half cone)Both cone and pyramid have a bottom surface (base) and a heightBoth have a volume of 1/3 the area of the base times the heightBoth have cross sections parallel to the base that are congruent to each other (all parallel sections are congruent to each other)Both have a "point" where the the area of the cross section vanishes to 0
What is the shape of the slice of cake cut parallel to a base of a cube?
It depends which orientation the cube has to the cake and which shape the cake is. However, assuming you meant a cube shaped cake was cut parallel to its base: It will be a cuboid.
How is a cylinder and triangular prism alike?
because the cylinder has a circular base and a triangular prism has a triangular base so they are both basic shapes.
