Why does a cylinder have one more plane of symmetry than a cone?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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 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.
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.
Which quadrilateral has line symmetry but no rotational symmetry of order more than 1?
not possible
What is the vertices of a square?
a. the point farthest from the base: the vertex of a cone or of a pyramid. b. a point in a geometrical solid common to three or more sides. c. the intersection of two sides of a plane figure.
Does a triangle have more than one line of symmetry?
It will have 3 lines of symmetry if its an equilateral triangle and only 1 line of symmetry if its an isosceles triangle.
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.

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!

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.
A shape that has more than 10 lines of symmetry?
circle, sphere, cylinder
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.
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 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. See the related link below for more information.
What is the symmetry of an insect?
Cockroaches, like many other animals, have reflection symmetry: The right side of a cockroach it's exactly like the left side, except for its direction. In mathematical terms we would say there is a plane dividing the cockroach into two symmetrical parts. Please see the links for more details. In biological terms, cockroaches have bilateral symmetry. This means they have 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.
What is adjective of cone?
A cone is a geometric shape. If we "build" it, it may be easier to understand what it is. Start with a plane and put a circle in it. Now pick a point that is "above" the plane, and draw a line from the point to the circumference of the circle. Now draw another one. And another. If you draw all the lines from that point to the circle, you'll create a cone. If you picked a point that is on a line perpendicular to the plane and that goes through the center of the circle, then you have set the conditions to make a right circular cone. This 3-dimentional geometric figure is fun to investigate. Use the link below to lean more about the cone.
Why is the curved surface of cone not 2pi x r x l?
Because 2Pi x r x L is the curved surface of a cylinder. Clearly a cylinder have more surface area than a cone of same height and radius. The surface of the cone is Pi x r x S where S is the slope length, so the cylinder has approximately double the surface area (note S is longer than L).
