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).

Can a cube have a cross section of a pentagon?
Yes, but not a regular one.
How would you slice the cube to get a square cross section?
Along any edge
What is a cross section of a cuboid?
The cross-section of a cuboid is unified in the shape of a square or a rectangle.
How do you find the length of a prism with the cross-section and volume?
length = volume/cross-section
What is the vertical cross section of a cone?
The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.
Can a cube have an octagonal cross section?
No, a cube cannot have an octagonal cross-section.
What is the base cross section of a cube?
A square.
What is the horitontal cross section of a cube?
A square
How many cross section in a cube?
Infinitely many.
Can the cross section of a cube be an equilateral triangle?
Yes it can.
What is the shape of the cross section of a cube if the cut is made across the diagonal of the cube?
Rectangle
Can a cube have a cross section of a pentagon?
Yes, but not a regular one.
How do you draw a cross section of a cube?
It will be the same shape as a square
What 3d shape has the same cross section as a square?

How would you slice the cube to get a square cross section?
Along any edge
What has six faces?
Cube, Cuboid. Any prism with a quadrilateral cross section
How do you calculate the cross sectional area of a cube?
You cannot unless you know the angle of the plane which defines the cross section.
