Section of Line by Line

Let a geometrical line $A$ cross over (or intersect) another line $B$.

The point where they cross is called the section of the $B$ by $A$ (or equivalently, of $A$ by $B$).


Plane Section

Let $F$ be a $3$-dimensional figure.

A plane section of $F$ is the intersection of $F$ with a plane.
