Visualizing Cross Sections of Pyramids

The video tutorial explains how to visualize two-dimensional cross sections of pyramids by analyzing the number of faces intersected by a slicing plane. It introduces basic geometric terms such as solids, faces, edges, and vertices, and explains the concept of slicing planes. The tutorial covers different types of cross sections, including vertical, horizontal, and diagonal, and describes how these intersections create various shapes. The lesson emphasizes that cross sections can occur at any angle and highlights the relationship between the number of intersected faces and the resulting edges.
