What is a cross section of a square?
It depends on the inclination of the line of cross section. If it is at an incline to the sides and diagonal, the cross section is a point which becomes a line that increases in length, reaches a maximum, remains at that length and then shrinks back to a point. If it is parallel to a diagonal, the cross section is a point which becomes a line that increases in length, reaches a maximum and then shrinks back to a point. If it is parallel to a side, the cross section is a line of constant length.
