Depends on how big of a pipe. Up to 6 inches, I would use a chop saw or miter saw, but you may not have one. A hand saw will work and hopefully you would have enough ability to cut reasonable straight, but possible not. It takes some practice. You can measure from the factory end and make a series of marks around the pipe and a saber saw. This is on PVC. Cast iron, you use a cutter that more or less aligns itself. Steel, there is a cuter available or you can cut it with a torch. On PVC, unless you cut it at a severe angle, there is usually enough overlap on the fitting to allow for some minor errors. If you are going to be cutting enough to justify it, you can nail two 8 foot 2x4s together to form an L this will give you a straight edge to mark the pipe and a way to hold it. Rest the pipe in the inside angle of the L.

What cross-section do you get when you give a vertical cut to a circular pipe?
The answer depends on the orientation of the pipe and the cut. Even if the cut is vertical, it can be along the axis (length) of the pipe, at right angles to it or at a slant. If the cut is along the axis, the cross section will be two rectangles where the length of the rectangle is the length of the pipe and the width is the thickness of the pipe. If the pipe has negligible thickness, this may be taken to be two parallel lines. If the cut is at right angles to the axis then the cross section will be an annulus which, when the thickness is negligible will become a circle. Finally, if the cut is skew, then you will get ellipses which will collapse to a single ellipse for negligible thickness.
