A cross-section of a cuboid is the two-dimensional shape that results from cutting the cuboid with a plane. It is formed by the intersection of the plane with the three-dimensional cuboid. The cross-section of a cuboid can be a rectangle, square, or even a triangle, depending on how the cuboid is cut. The shape and size of the cross-section will vary based on the orientation and angle of the cutting plane relative to the cuboid.

What is visualising solids shapes?
Visualising solid shapes is a very useful skill. We can see the hidden parts of a solid shape. For example, when a cuboid with a square face is cut vertically, then each face is a square. The face is a cross section of the cuboid
Why is a cube a prism?
A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.
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.
What is a cylinders 2d name?
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.
