If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone is what?
The intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that is parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. However, if the vertex of the cone lies on the plane, then the intersection is simply two intersecting lines.
If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but is not parallel to an edge of the cone what shape is produced?
An ellipse is produced.
A right circular double-napped cone is intersected by a plane that is parallel to the generator of the cone two conice sections that could be form are?
i suppose it is an hyperbola
What is produced when you slice a cone at different angles?
When a cone is sliced parallel to the base then the shape produced is a circle. If the cone is sliced at an angle so that the cut goes completely through the cone then an ellipse is produced. If the cut is made perpendicular to the cone's base then the shape produced is a parabola.
Right circular cone is intersected by a plane that is parallel to one edge of the cone?
I'm assuming you are looking for the name of the conic section produced by this type of intersection? If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane parallel to one edge of the cone, the resulting curve of intersection would be a parabola. If the intersecting plane was parallel to the base, it would be a circle. If the intersecting plane was at any angle between being parallel to the base and being parallel to an edge, it would produce an ellipse or part of an ellipse (depending on whether the intersection was completely within the cone).
What is name of half of a right circular cone?
I don't think there is a special name for that.
What Difference between cone and right circular cone?
A right circular cone is perfectly balanced on its circular base. Imagine a cone that has a circular base, but leans to one side - this is a non right circular cone.
What solid figure is this when it has a round top and a triangle front and side view?
A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.
What is mean by right circular cone?
A Right Circular Cone is one wherein the base of the cone is circular and the axis of the cone is perpendicular to the base and passes through the center of the base and the vertex of the cone.
Difference between cone and right circular cone?
In a right circular cone the apex is directly above the centre of the base.
What is the figure called formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone?
A parabola is the figure formed by the intersection of a circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone. (the cone does not have to be a right [90°] circular cone).
what Is an oblique circular cone?
In a right circular cone a line from the vertex to the center of the circular base is perpendicular to the base. In an oblique circular cone that same line will not be perpendicular.
Is a right circular cone can have a triangle as a base?
no
Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the?
Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the vertex.
How many lines of symmetry does a circular cone have?
If it is a right circular cone, it has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. If it is an oblique circular cone, it has one plane of symmetry.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone is what?
The intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that is parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. However, if the vertex of the cone lies on the plane, then the intersection is simply two intersecting lines.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex?
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex, the resulting curve is a pair of hyperboles.
