Shapes that have a circular cross-section include cylinders, spheres, and cones. In a cylinder, each cross-section parallel to the base is a circle, while a sphere has circular cross-sections at any plane that intersects it. A cone also has circular cross-sections parallel to its base, becoming smaller as it approaches the apex.

What is the cross section of a circle?

The cross section of a circle is a circle. A circle is defined as a plane figure (i.e. 2 dimensional object) with a constant radius in both dimensions. Since a cross section is, by definition 2 dimensional, a circle's cross section is the circle itself.


What is the formula for cross sectional calculations?

It depends on the shape. Many prismatic or conical shapes have simple cross section - such as a polygon, a circle or an ellipse. These have simple, though different, formulae.
