A cone with included interior is 3-dimensional. However, if you are not including the interior it is a 2-dimensional surface residing in a 3-d ambient space.

If you're utilizing the common topological definition of dimension, you can derive that a cone (surface only) is 2 dimensional by looking at its open sets.
