Answer with explanation:

A pyramid is a three dimensional solid , having base in the shape of any polygon and other faces are in the shape of triangle meeting at a point.

So, if you cut the pyramid , parallel to any side of the pyramid other than the base you will obtain

A pyramid having same base as original pyramid, that will be the top view but front view will be of trapezoid.
