always a circle.
If the radius of the sphere is R units then the radius of the cross section is sqrt(R2 - 32) Therefore the cross sectional area is pi*(R2 - 32) square units.
When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.

Every cross-section of a sphere is a circle.
The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.
One possible cross section of a sphere is a circle. When a plane intersects the sphere, the shape of the intersection can vary depending on the position of the plane. If the plane cuts through the center of the sphere, the resulting cross section will be a circle with the same radius as the sphere. If the plane intersects the sphere at other points, the cross section will still be a circle, but its radius will be smaller.
The cross sections of a sphere can be circular or elliptical, depending on how the plane intersects the sphere. When a plane cuts through the center of the sphere, the cross section is a circle with the same radius as the sphere. If the plane intersects the sphere at an angle or does not pass through the center, the cross section will still be a circle, but its radius will be smaller than that of the sphere. Additionally, if the plane is tangent to the sphere, the cross section reduces to a single point.
