When a sphere is cut in cross section the shape formed by the cut is?
A circle.
What is a cross section?
A cross section imagines what something would look like if you cut it in half (or more or less in half) and looked at the surface that was exposed by the cut.
How can you cut a cross section from a cube to make it a triangle?
You would cut off a corner.
Is it possible to cut a circular cross section from a rectangular prism?
No, a rectangular prism's cross-section will always have between 1 and 4 (inclusive) straight lines only.
What is the name of the face that is exposed when a solid shape is cut through?
Its cross-section area
When a sphere is cut in cross section the shape formed by the cut is?
A circle.
What is a meant by cross section?
Imagine that you wanted to cut a globe or a sphere exactly in half. When you looked at the cut you would see an exact circle on both pieces. This area would be the cross-section. You could work out the area of this cross-section by using A = Pi X r squared. But be careful. Don't assume that the cross sectional area is the same no matter where you cut. If you cut the globe at some other point, say near to the edge, the cross-section (the circular area that you would see) would be a lot smaller. You would come across a uniform cross-section if you cut a cable. No matter where you cut the cable the cross-section should be roughly the same. Also cross section doesn't have to be circular. The cross-section you get really depends on the original shape you are dealing with. If you cut a cube in half, you would get a square cross-section. So I guess you could imagine the term as applying to cutting across (hence cross) something to reveal 2 sections (hence section).

What is the cross section of a brick with a vertical cut?

What is the shape of the cross -section of a cylinder?
An ellipse or a rectangle, depending on how you cut it.
What is the definition of a cross-section?
The definition of a cross-section is the surface that is seen after something is cut through a straight. This is done to expose the inner shape of an object.
What is a cross section of a shape?
The cross section of a shape refers to the shape obtained when the given shape is cut across a straight line. The cross section of a shape helps viewers to view inside of a given object by cutting through it.
A surgeon removed a section of tissue along a transverse plane for examination What two names would this section be called?
A cut along the transverse plane= transverse or cross section. *(If cut at an angle= oblique section).
What does cross-section mean?
When a 3-dimensional (solid) object is cut by a plane, the 2-dimensional shape made where the solid object and the plane meet is the cross section.
