Cross sections of randomly distributed defects
A $10 \times 10 \times 10$ mm cube has $1000000$ 2-micron spheres randomly distributed thru out it. If a random cross-section was done. What would be the area of the cross-sectioned spheres and how many portions of spheres could be counted?

Cylindric sections
When a cylinder intersects with a plane, what are the resultant shapes and curves? I think that the curves are hyperbola, parabola and line, and the shapes are circle, ellipse, rectangle and trapezium. For shapes, we ignore 'weird' ones like the…

What's the cross-sectional area of a grating?
This is related to the electrical concept of resistance, but in the equation of resistance
$$R = \frac{ρ l}{A}$$
there's the cross-sectional area $A$ of the conductor.
Now if the conductor is a grating
then what's the cross-sectional area of such…
