The property ($A \times B$) ∩ ($C \times D$) = (A ∩ C) × (B ∩ D) can be understood by representing Cartesian products as rectangles. The intersection of two rectangles is a smaller rectangle whose width is the intersection of the widths of the original rectangles, and whose height is the intersection of their heights.

Conditions: A, B, C, and D are arbitrary sets.; The geometric analogy treats sets as lengths and Cartesian products as rectangular areas.
