When you cut a cross-section of a three-dimensional shape, each resulting part retains the same number of edges and surfaces as the original shape, but they are distributed differently. The cut creates new edges and surfaces at the intersection, but overall, the total count remains consistent. This property holds true for regular geometric solids, where symmetry and uniformity are maintained through the cut. Thus, the total number of edges and surfaces remains unchanged, albeit reconfigured.
A section of a cylinder along its length. The cross-section will be a quadrilateral. There will be 4 straight edges where the quadrilateral meets the curved face, and two curved edges from the top and bottom of the cylinder.
An hexagonal cross-section prism has 8 faces, 18 edges and 12 vertices
6 flat surfaces - known as faces, 12 edges 8 vertices.
flat surfaces: 6 faces: 6 edges: 12 corners: 8
Vertices = 4Faces = 4 Edges = 6.

A file is a hand tool with a series of fine teeth used to smooth wood, metal, etc. A square file has a square cross- section, so it has four flat surfaces, and right angled edges.

A pentagonal cross-section prism would fit the given description
It depends on the angle of the plane of the cross section. If it is parallel to the cube's face (or equivalently, two adjacent edges) the cross section will be a square congruent to the face. If the plane is parallel to just one edge (and so angled to a face), the cross section will be a rectangle which will have a constant width. Its length will increase, remain at a maximum level and then decrease. If neither, it will be a hexagon-triangle-hexagon-triangle-hexagon (triangles when passing through a vertex).
There are 9 edges in a (triangular) prism.Other prisms have different number of edges.It depends upon the cross-sectional shape of the prism.If n is the number of sides to the cross-sectional shape of the prism, the number of edges is 3n.A triangular prism has 3x3 = 9 edgesA rectangular prism (cuboid) has 3 x 4 = 12 edgesetc
