Best Answer

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).
