If the radius of the sphere is R units then the radius of the cross section is sqrt(R2 - 32)
Therefore the cross sectional area is pi*(R2 - 32) square units.

What is the area of the cross section of a sphere that is 12 units from the center of the sphere?
That depends on how many units there are in the diameter of the sphere. * * * * * If the radius of the sphere is R units then the radius of the cross section is sqrt(R2 - 122) Therefore the cross sectional area is pi*(R2 - 122) square units.
What is the area of the cross section of a sphere that is 3 units from the center of the sphere?
The cross section at this point forms a circle and its area is pi/32 which equals 9*pi square units. * * * * * Not quite. If the radius of the sphere is R units then the radius of the cross section is sqrt(R2 - 32) Therefore the cross sectional area is pi*(R2 - 32) square units.
