A cross section diagram is what you would see if you could take a 'knife' and cut through the object and see what the new surface/profile looks like. Think of cutting fruit in half and seeing the seeds. You wouldn't know what the inside looks like until you did that. Cross sections are done a lot on engineering drawings to clearly show the details of parts. Cross section views usually have 'cross hatching' (diagonal lines) showing the new 'cutting plane'.

What is a diagram that shows a vertical slice called?
Ah, what a lovely question! A diagram that shows a vertical slice is called a "cross-section." It's like cutting through a delicious layer cake to see all the yummy layers inside. Just imagine all the wonderful details and colors you can discover in a simple cross-section.
What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
What type of cross section is preferred for a crane hook?
trapezoidal cross section
What degree in cross section of a sphere?
Every cross-section of a sphere is a circle.
What is the definition of a uniform cross-section?
A Uniform Cross Section is the cross section of the solid, parallel to base, such that the resulting figure has the same shape and size as that of the base of the figure.More about Uniform Cross SectionSolids like pyramids and cones have slant heights and hence do not have uniform cross section.Examples of Uniform Cross SectionThe uniform cross section of the given prism is a square.The uniform cross section of the given cylinder is a circle.In short to say, uniform cross-section are when you dissect a 3D solid and you get all same shape (uniform).
