MATLAB: Determine cross sectional area from patch data

cadpatch

Hello,
I am trying to slice a patch object and determine the cross sectional areas and ordinates at different vertical points.
For example, if I take the Matlab teapot example shown below. I would like to slice the teapot at z=0.5:0.5:2.5 and determine the area and the ordinates in the XY plane. 
[verts, faces, cindex] = teapotGeometry;
figure
p = patch('Faces',faces,'Vertices',verts,'FaceVertexCData',cindex,'FaceColor','interp')
view(3)
xlabel('X');ylabel('Y');zlabel('Z')
