The intersection of a plane with a solid figure is the set of points where the plane cuts through the solid. This intersection can take various forms depending on the orientation and position of the plane relative to the solid; it can be a point, a line, or a two-dimensional shape (such as a circle or polygon). The specific nature of the intersection is determined by the geometry of both the plane and the solid figure involved.
A parabola is the figure formed by the intersection of a circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone. (the cone does not have to be a right [90°] circular cone).

The first step in describing the figure that results from a plane intersecting a three-dimensional figure is to identify the equation of the plane and the equation of the three-dimensional figure. Next, analyze the geometric properties of both the plane and the solid to determine the nature of the intersection. This involves considering the orientation and position of the plane relative to the solid to predict the resulting intersection shape, such as a point, line, or curve. Finally, you can visualize or sketch the intersection to aid in understanding the resultant figure.

Two planes that intersect are simply called a plane to plane intersection. When they intersect, the intersection point is simply called a line.
