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.

How many more bases does a cylinder have then a cone?

it has one more, because a cylinder has 2 and a cone has one.


How many lines of symmetry does a cone?

A triangle has only one line of symmetry but who ever says there are more than two is a idiot * * * * * A triangle, in general has NO line of symmetry, so who ever (or whoever) says there is one is and acts smart about it is a bigger idiot! That is even more so when the question is about a cone and not a triangle! What a loser! A cone, in general has no line of symmetry. A right cone has one.


What geometric shape has 1 circular base?

A sphere intersected by a plane, An circular ellipsoid intersected by a plane, A cylinder, A cone, and many more shapes, some of which don't even have a name!


Which of the following conic sections describes a closed circle?

The question is incomplete, because "the following" was not provided. A circle, however, is a conic section where the sectioning plane is perpendicular to the cone's axis of symmetry and intersects each generator or, more specifically, if it is not a right circular cone, parallel to the generating circle of the cone.

What is the difference between plane shape and solid shape?

A solid is more like a pyramid or a cone. and a plane is more like a square or plane shapes like that. The answer is in the shapes.


What is the significance of the internal plane of symmetry in determining the structural properties of a molecule?

The internal plane of symmetry in a molecule indicates that the molecule is symmetrical when divided along that plane. This symmetry affects the molecule's structural properties by influencing its stability, reactivity, and overall shape. Molecules with internal symmetry tend to be more stable and have predictable properties compared to asymmetrical molecules.


Show that the volume of cylinder is equal to one third the volume of cone?

It isn't. If the cylinder and the cone have the same height and radius, the cylinder has a larger volume (twice as large). If they do not have the same height and radius you need more information to prove their relative volumes.


What is the body symmetry of a cockroach?

Cockroaches have bilateral symmetry, meaning their body can be divided into two symmetrical halves along a single plane. This symmetry allows for more efficient movement and navigation in their environment.


How much less or more is the volume of a cylinder in comparison to that of a cone with same height and radius of the base?

The volume of a cylinder is three times as much.


What symmetry do crocodiles have?

Crocodiles exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning that their body can be divided into two similar halves along a vertical plane. This symmetry allows for more efficient movement and helps crocodiles navigate their environment effectively.


What is the body symmetry of mussel?

Many think that the limpet has radial symmetry but this is not the case. Limpets have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means the animal has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
