The vertical cross sections are trapezia or triangles. The horizontal cross sections are rectangles which are mathematically similar to the base.
That's a statement that can apply to any rectangular prism.
In Geometry, cross-section is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. The cross section of a circular cylinder is a circle. * * * * * There are also cross-sections that are ellipses or rectangles.
You could consider the cross as two intersecting rectangles. Calculate the area of both rectangles and the area of the intersection (overlap). Then area of cross = sum of the areas of the rectangles minus the area of the overlap.
When rectangles are inscribed, they lie entirely inside the area you're calculating. They never cross over the curve that bounds the area. Circumscribed rectangles cross over the curve and lie partially outside of the area. Circumscribed rectangles always yield a larger area than inscribed rectangles.

Treat it as 3 rectangles.
We need some pictues of the cross sections of manufactured boards. Thank you.
It only looks like a letter X. In fact it is a cross.
When a sphere is cut into cross sections, the shape formed is a circle. This is because all cross sections of a sphere will be circular in shape, regardless of the angle or position of the cut.

Some cross sections are rectangle and octagon.
All cross sections of a square pyramid that are parallel to the base are squares
