What is the name of the point where the two nappes of a right circular cone meet as shown below?
It is the vertex. It can also be called the apex but that has a connotation of being the top-most point and so is not appropriate when both nappes are concerned.
If both nappes of a right circular cone are intersected by a plane that does not pass through the vertex of the cone the resulting curve will be a?
It will be a hyperbola.
What shape is produced if a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone but not through the vertex?
An Ellipse

How does a right circular cone look?
A right circular cone looks like a martini glass. Actually, the martini glass is only a part of one half of the cone. Think also of an ice cream cone, again being part of one half. Formally, the right circular cone is the surface in three-dimensional space swept by a line that intersects a point and the domain of the circumference of a circle, said point lying on a line perpendicular (right angle) to the circle and intersecting its radius. Since the line sweeps through a point, there are two nappes, one on each side of that single point. The perpendicular line is called the axis, and the point is called the vertex.
