That depends on the solid that you are slicing.

If the solid is a cylinder, you can make a circle by slicing horizontally,

or an ellipse by slicing diagonally.

If the solid has a square "base", then you can make make squares,

rectangles, and even hexagons.

If the solid is a cone or better yet a double cone, you can construct

the conic sections (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola).

Answer #2:

The tidiest answer to the question is: A "section" is.

The shape which is obtained when a solid is sliced in a particular direction?

The resulting shape when a solid is sliced in a particular direction is called a cross-section. It represents the intersection of the solid with the slicing plane. Cross-sections can vary depending on the orientation and angle of the cut.

What is the intersection of a plane with a solid figure?

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.
