Thanks for answering :)
You are right, it certainly cannot be a trapezoid or a circle :)
If the base is a rectangle and you chop it parallel to the base, that means in the same direction as the base, (sideways) then you will get smaller and smaller rectangles. Can you see that?
If you chop it perpendicular to the base, that is like the chocolates in a toblerone bar are divided, then each cros section will be a triangle, exactly the same as the triangle at the front. :)
Think about it :)
