The formula for cross section area of a square is very easy to use. Measure the length of one side of the square it. If you are doing the cross section area of a rectangle, measure both sides and multiply them together.

The cross section at this point forms a circle and its area is pi/32 which equals 9*pi square units. * * * * * Not quite. If the radius of the sphere is R units then the radius of the cross section is sqrt(R2 - 32) Therefore the cross sectional area is pi*(R2 - 32) square units.
It depends on the cross section which may be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular or of a more complex shape.
If the bar is circular then it is: pi*radius square
The formula for the area of a square is s2 (sides squared)
Well, honey, the formula for the cross-sectional area of a coin is just π times the radius squared. So, measure that radius, square it, multiply by π, and voilà, you've got your cross-sectional area. Just don't go spending all that knowledge in one place, now.
