To calculate the cross-sectional area of a shape, you need to determine the shape of the cross-section first (e.g., square, circle, triangle). Then, use the appropriate formula for that shape. For example, the formula for the cross-sectional area of a square is side length squared, for a circle it is pi times the radius squared, and for a triangle it is base times height divided by 2. Finally, plug in the given dimensions into the formula to calculate the cross-sectional area.
