ellipse
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that passes through one of its nappes, but the plane is not parallel to an edge of the cone, the resulting curve will bea(n) _____ . ellipse
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex, the resulting curve is a pair of hyperboles.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs perpendicular to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex the resulting curve will be a circle.
If I understand your question correctly, it would be an ellipse.

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.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs perpendicular to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex the resulting curve will be a circle.
if a right circular cone intersects a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone, but not through the vertex, the resulting curve will be a hyperbola
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs perpendicular to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex the resulting curve will be a circle.
