Circle: If the knife is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.
Ellipse: If the knife is between (perpendicular to the axis of the cone) and (parallel to the side of the cone).
Parabola: If the knife is between (parallel to the side of the cone) and (parallel to the axis of the cone).
Hyperbola: If the knife is parallel to the axis of the cone.
Triangle: If the knife is perpendicular to the base of the cone.
Point: If the knife is parallel to the base the cone and through the apex

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 3 solids have a circle as a horizontal cross section?
cone
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 three dimensional figure has a cross section of a triangle and the view from below is a circle?
cone
Would the horizontal cross section of a cone be congruent to its base?
No because it would be smaller.
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 horizontal cross section of a cone?
Circle
What is the horrizontal cross section of a cone?
If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
What is the shape of the base cross section of a cone?
123123123456
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.
