Answer:

The shape of each cross-section of a 3D figure, relates to the volume because the area of the cross-section is determined by its shape and the area of this cross section is in the sum that calculates the volume of this 3D figure.

Explanation:

An infinite sum of all the all the cross-sections of a 3D figure parallel to the base equals the volume of that 3D figure.
