Alpha cut in fuzzy logic

Can someone please explain in simple terms with an example what is aplha cut in fuzzy logic

I tried to understand on my own, by referring to this and I could only get the definition without any simple explanation with example

The definition says something like

Let µ ∈ F(X) and α ∈ [0, 1].

Then the sets [µ]α = {x ∈ X | µ(x) ≥ α} , [µ]α = {x ∈ X | µ(x) > α} are called the α-cut and strict α-cut of µ

Consider for example this fuzzy set

A = { 0/1 + 0.1/2 + 0.4/3 + 0.5/4 + 0.5/5 }

Can someone please try to explain with the above mentioned set

Thank you

It is the set of all xs where mu(x) is larger than alpha. In your example, assume alpha is 0.2. Then the alpha-cut is {3,4,5} because all of those xs have membership values greater than 0.2.
