What dimensional shapes have circular faces?
Not sure what the question means, unless it is meant to refer to 3-dimensional shapes. If so, some answers are: a cylinder, a cone, a section of a sphere, an ellipsoid with two equal axes intersected by a plane defined by those axes, a symmetric paraboloid intersected by a plane perpendicular to its axis of symmetry, a torus (doughnut) intersected by a plane perpendicular to its "main" radius.
What is the perpendicular cross section of a rectangular prism?
It is a rectangle.
The intersection of a three-dimensional figure and a plane?
Cross Section
What is the cross sectional area of a cube with a perimeter of 48cm?
A perimeter is normally defined for 2-dimensional shapes and not three dimensional ones. A cube has 12 edges. So, if the perimeter is 48 cm, each edge must be 48/12 = 4 cm. The cross section of a cube depends on the angle of the plane intersecting the cube and, if it is not perpendicular to the cube, can be triangular, parallelogram or hexagonal. Assuming the plane is at right angles to the cube, the cross section is a square with sides of 4 cm. So its area is 16 cm2
What is the geometric definition of parabola?
It is a section of a right circular cone by a plane that is parallel to one generating line of the cone.
What is the cross section of a circle?
The cross section of a circle is a circle. A circle is defined as a plane figure (i.e. 2 dimensional object) with a constant radius in both dimensions. Since a cross section is, by definition 2 dimensional, a circle's cross section is the circle itself.
Which two-dimensional figure could be a cross section of a rectangular pyramid that has been intersected by a plane perpendicular to its base and not through its vertex?
trapezoid

What is the perpendicular cross section of a rectangular prism?

What does cross-section mean?
When a 3-dimensional (solid) object is cut by a plane, the 2-dimensional shape made where the solid object and the plane meet is the cross section.
The intersection of a three-dimensional figure and a plane?
Cross Section
What is the crosssection perpendicular to the base of a triangle?
A triangle does not have a cross-section but the perpendicular line of a right angle triangle meets the base at 90 degrees.
If you slice a cylinder perpendicular to the base what will be the shape of the cross section?
It will be a rectangle
What is the intersection of a three dimensional figure and a plane?

How do you calculate section modulus of a T section?
This is a technique used by civil and mechanical engineers to calculate the cross section of a geometric figure. It is used to determine the Yield Moment also called My.
Can you have a cross section diagram of a red blood cell?
Any two-dimensional image of a cell is technically a cross section.
What area is formed by a plane cutting through a solid perpendicular to its axis?
A cross section is formed.
