What is a cross section of a cone?
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 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 is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone?
The "conic section" that is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone is known as an ellipse. In the case where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the ellipse becomes a circle.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone the resulting curve is?
The "conic section" that is produced when a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. In the case where the plane also intersects the vertex of the cone, the parabola becomes two intersecting lines.
What is a cross section of a cone?
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
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel?
Then the cross-section is a circle or a point.
What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
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 produced when you slice a cone with a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone?
That conic section is a circle.When you slice a cone with a plane parallel to the base of the cone, the sliced section is a circle, and the portion of the original cone on the side of the vertex is again a cone.An isosceles cone would be the out come
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to cones axis but doesnt cross it?
If your question is "What is the cross-section of the intersection?" then the answer is "A circle." Otherwise, I can't make sense of the question.
What is the horrizontal cross section of a cone?
If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
Cutting section of cone in ellipse?
Tilt of cutting plane is between (perpendicular to axis of the cone) and (parallel to the side of the cone).
What is the shape of the base cross section of a cone?
123123123456
What is the horizontal cross section of a cone?
A CIRCLE.
What is the geometric definition of parabola?
It is a section of a right circular cone by a plane that is parallel to one generating line of the cone.
