Formula for cross section area(A)? |
|
Answer» Cross-Sectional Area of a Rectangular Solid The volume of any rectangular solid, including a cube, is the area of its base (length times width) multiplied by its height: V = l × w × h. Therefore, if a cross section is parallel to the top or bottom of the solid, the area of the cross-section is l × w. If the cutting plane is parallel to one of the two sets the sides, the cross-sectional area is instead given by l × h or w × h. If the cross-section is not perpendicular to any axis of symmetry, the shape created may be a triangle (if placed through a corner of the solid) or even a hexagon. |
