How are the cone and cylinder alike?
a cone is like an upside down ice cream cone. and a cylinder is like a glue stick. both have at least one plane and several edges.
Is a cone a polygon?
No. A polygon is a plane figure - i.e. it is 2-dimensional A cone is a solid figure - i.e it is 3-dimensional
Why does a cylinder have one more plane of symmetry than a cone?
A cylinder and a cone have infinitely many planes of symmetry because of the circular face. However, a cylinder can also be cut in half lengthwise (imaging cutting a soda can in half), while a cone cannot (imagine cutting a ice cream cone in half). Therefore, a cylinder has one more plane of symmetry than a cone.
Why is a circle the odd one out between a circle a cylinder and cone?
A circle is a two-dimensional figure, where the cylinder and cone are three-dimensional.
What is the definition of a conic section?
the figure defined by intersection of a cone and a plane.
How are the cone and cylinder alike?
a cone is like an upside down ice cream cone. and a cylinder is like a glue stick. both have at least one plane and several edges.
A solid figure which has both a flat and a curved surface?
A cylinder or a cone. Or a hemisphere.
Is cone a solid figure or plane figure?
A solid figure.
What figure has a circle on the bottom?
A cone/cylinder
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).
Is a cone a polygon?
No. A polygon is a plane figure - i.e. it is 2-dimensional A cone is a solid figure - i.e it is 3-dimensional
Does the base of the cone and cylinder are they both congruent?
No, there is no reason for a cone and a cylinder to have anything congruent.
Why does a cylinder have one more plane of symmetry than a cone?
A cylinder and a cone have infinitely many planes of symmetry because of the circular face. However, a cylinder can also be cut in half lengthwise (imaging cutting a soda can in half), while a cone cannot (imagine cutting a ice cream cone in half). Therefore, a cylinder has one more plane of symmetry than a cone.
Why is a circle the odd one out between a circle a cylinder and cone?
A circle is a two-dimensional figure, where the cylinder and cone are three-dimensional.
What is the difference between a square pyramid cylinder and a cone?
a cone looks like an ice cream cone and a cylinder has 2 circles (one on each side) figure it out
Figure formed by a plane intersecting the surface of a cone?
That can be an ellipse, circle, parabola, or hyperbola. It depends on the angle between the plane and the axis or surface of the cone.
What is the best definition of sectionalism?
the figure defined by intersection of a cone and a plane.
