What is the horizontal cross section of a rectangular pryamid?
It is a rectangle which is similar to the base.
Can a triangular prism have a rectangular base or does this mean it is in fact a pyramid?
A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
What two dimensional shape could not be the result of taking a cross section of a rectangular pyramid?
A circle.
How Do you make a cross section of a parallelogram from a pyramid?
It depends on the pyramid. If it is a square based pyramid, a horizontal plane will give a square cross section, a plane inclined by a rotation parallel to one of the base axes will give a rectangular cross section whereas a plane inclined by rotation along both basal axes will result in a parallelogram cross section. Not sure how you get a parallelogram from a pentagonal or hexagonal (etc) pyramid.

A rectangle.
How are rectangular pyramids and rectangular prims alike?
They are similar, however, the distinctiion is that the pyramid has a rectangular base with triangular faces meeting in a vertex (thus forming the pyramid shape), while the prism has a congruent (identical) cross-section, like a loaf of bread. So the prism has two rectangular "ends".
