Could you help me understand cross sections of three-dimenstional object its harder than it sound.

A section, or cross-section, is a view of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a plane through the object. A section is a common method of depicting the internal arrangement of a 3-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is often used in technical drawing and is traditionally crosshatched.

Cross sections of three-dimensional objects are two-dimensional shapes of various sizes. They may be parallel to a side or base of the object or at an angle to these surfaces. A cross section may resemble the shape of the object’s side or base, or it may have a completely different shape.

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
