What is the horizontal cross section of a cone?
A CIRCLE.
What does a cone prism look like?
By definition, the circular cross-section of a cone changes linearly in width as you go along its axis. By definition, the cross-section of a prism is constant along its axis. So, by definition, a cone prism is an impossible shape.
What is vertical cross section of a cone?
For a right cone, it is a hyperbola which becomes and isosceles triangle when the section passes through the apex.
What three solid figures have a triangle as a cross section?
Pyramid, triangular prism, cone.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel?
Then the cross-section is a circle or a point.
What is the vertical cross section of a cone?
The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.
What is the cross section of the cone?
Circle
What is the parallel cross section of a cone?
The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.
What is the shape of the base cross section of a cone?

What is the horizontal cross section of a cone?
A CIRCLE.
What does cone cylinder and a sphere have in common?
A circular cross-section.
What shape is cross section of a cone?
Circular when looking up at it
What 3 solids have a circle as a horizontal cross section?
cone
What does a cone prism look like?
By definition, the circular cross-section of a cone changes linearly in width as you go along its axis. By definition, the cross-section of a prism is constant along its axis. So, by definition, a cone prism is an impossible shape.
What is the tilted away cross section of a cone?
Depends on the way you cut the cone, but the outline is either an ellipse or a parabola.
What is vertical cross section of a cone?
For a right cone, it is a hyperbola which becomes and isosceles triangle when the section passes through the apex.
Why is a traffic cone a cone?
The strongest shape in nature is the triangle. A traffic cone has a cross section of a triangle. This would give it strength especially when knocked into by the traffic.
