Plane sections

A cross-section of a 3-dimensional figure is a 2-dimensional shape (imagine a slice).
For any given 3-dimensional figure, the cross-section depends on the orientation of the plane. As a result, it is possible to get the same cross-sections from different objects, and get different cross sections from the same object.
