Cross Sections of Regular Polyhedra

The Wolfram Demonstrations Project contains thousands of free interactive visualizations, with new entries added daily.

Three noncollinear points determine a plane. Fix three points on the edges of a polyhedron and visualize the corresponding cross section. For a cube, the resulting polygon can be a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, or a hexagon.
