Cross section means the representation of the intersection of an object by a plane along its axis. A cross-section is a shape that is yielded from a solid (eg. cone, cylinder, sphere) when cut by a plane. Show
For example, a cylinder-shaped object is cut by a plane parallel to its base; then the resultant cross-section will be a circle. So, there has been an intersection of the object. It is not necessary that the object has to be three-dimensional shape; instead, this concept is also applied for two-dimensional shapes. Also, you will see some real-life examples of cross-sections such as a tree after it has been cut, which shows a ring shape. If we cut a cubical box by a plane parallel to its base, then we obtain a square. Cross-section DefinitionIn Geometry, the cross-section is defined as the shape obtained by the intersection of solid by a plane. The cross-section of three-dimensional shape is a two-dimensional geometric shape. In other words, the shape obtained by cutting a solid parallel to the base is known as a cross-section. Cross-section ExamplesThe examples for cross-section for some shapes are:
Types of Cross SectionThe cross-section is of two types, namely
Horizontal or Parallel Cross SectionIn parallel cross-section, a plane cuts the solid shape in the horizontal direction (i.e., parallel to the base) such that it creates the parallel cross-section Vertical or Perpendicular Cross SectionIn perpendicular cross-section, a plane cuts the solid shape in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the base) such that it creates a perpendicular cross-section Cross-sections in GeometryThe cross sectional area of different solids is given here with examples. Let us figure out the cross-sections of cube, sphere, cone and cylinder here. Cross-Sectional AreaWhen a plane cuts a solid object, an area is projected onto the plane. That plane is then perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. Its projection is known as the cross-sectional area. Example: Find the cross-sectional area of a plane perpendicular to the base of a cube of volume equal to 27 cm3. Solution: Since we know, Volume of cube = Side3 Therefore, Side3 = 27 [Given] Side = 3 cm Since, the cross-section of the cube will be a square therefore, the side of the square is 3cm. Hence, cross-sectional area = a2 = 32 9 sq.cm. Volume by Cross Section Since the cross section of a solid is a two-dimensional shape, therefore, we cannot determine its volume. Cross Sections of ConeA cone is considered a pyramid with a circular cross-section. Depending upon the relationship between the plane and the slant surface, the cross-section or also called conic sections (for a cone) might be a circle, a parabola, an ellipse or a hyperbola.  From the above figure, we can see the different cross sections of cone, when a plane cuts the cone at a different angle. Also, see: Conic Sections Class 11 Cross Sections of cylinderDepending on how it has been cut, the cross-section of a cylinder may be either circle, rectangle, or oval. If the cylinder has a horizontal cross-section, then the shape obtained is a circle. If the plane cuts the cylinder perpendicular to the base, then the shape obtained is a rectangle. The oval shape is obtained when the plane cuts the cylinder parallel to the base with slight variation in its angle Cross Sections of SphereWe know that of all the shapes, a sphere has the smallest surface area for its volume. The intersection of a plane figure with a sphere is a circle. All cross-sections of a sphere are circles. In the above figure, we can see, if a plane cuts the sphere at different angles, the cross-sections we get are circles only. Articles on Solids
Solved ProblemProblem: Determine the cross-section area of the given cylinder whose height is 25 cm and radius is 4 cm. Solution: Given: Radius = 4 cm Height = 25 cm We know that when the plane cuts the cylinder parallel to the base, then the cross-section obtained is a circle. Therefore, the area of a circle, A = πr2 square units. Take π = 3.14 Substitute the values, A = 3.14 (4)2 cm2 A = 3.14 (16) cm2 A = 50.24 cm2 Thus, the cross section area of the cylinder is 50.24 cm2
A cross section is the 2d shape obtained when a plane cuts a three dimensional solid. Cross section of a cube is a square. Since a cube has its faces shaped in square and all the edges of the cube are equal in length. Therefore, when we cut the cube by a plane, we get a square shape. Cross section of a cuboid is usually a rectangle because a cuboid has all its faces in rectangular shape. Thus, when we cut a cuboid by a plane, we get a rectangle. When a plane cuts a sphere from any point on it, we get a circle. The size of the cross section may vary depending on the point of intersection of plane and sphere. If the plane passed through the center of sphere, then it divides the sphere into two equal parts (i.e. hemisphere). A cone has circular base that is narrowed laterally to a point, called vertex. Now if it is a right circular cone, then the cross section will be a circle. But if it is an oblique cone, then the cross section could appear as an oval shape. Cross section of both sphere and cylinder is same, that is a circle.
A cross section is the shape we get when cutting straight through an object.
It is like a view into the inside of something made by cutting through it.
GeometryIn geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane.
Example:The cross section of this circular cylinder is a circle We don't draw the rest of the object, just the shape made when you cut through.
Example:The cross section of a rectangular pyramid is a rectangle Cross sections are usually parallel to the base like above, but can be in any direction.
