Answer 1

I don't see a diagram, but it produces a triangle.

Answer 2

triangle.

Explanation:

given: a square pyramid

to find : shape of cross section made when a plane perpendicular

to base and passes through top vertex.

when a plane cuts the square pyramid perpendicular to base and passes through top vertex we get a cross section made by its two equal slant height and side of the square.

therefore, we get a triangle or more specifically isosceles triangle.
