Best Answer

You have a 3-d shape. If you slice of a part of it with a very very sharp instrument (a sharp sword or a laser, for example) the cross section is the shape of the newly cut surface.

So, if you start with a sphere, any section will be a circle. Of different sizes depending on how high or low you cut, but they'll all be circles.

If you have a cone, a dead vertical cut, through its apex (top point) will be a triangle. But as you move off the apex, you will get a parabola. Cut is horizontally, though, and you will get circles - ncreasing in size as you move further from the apex. Cut it at a slight slant and you will get ellipses (ovals). And so on.
