If this is a homework question, please consider trying to answer it yourself first, otherwise the value the reinforcement of the lesson by doing the homework will be lost to you.
If plane intersects a right circular cone perpendicular to the axis of the cone then the shape of the 2 dimensional figure formed from the intersection of the plane with the cone is a circle. At the vertex of the cone, the circle becomes a point. In the general case of any plane intersecting any cone, the intersection is known as a conic section.
What else can I help you with?
What is the shape of the intersection of a cylinder and a plane that is perpendicular to the circular bases?
rectangle
What is it called when a plane intersects a right circular cone through both nappes?
The intersection forms 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 n?
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.
What is the shape of the intersection of a cylinder and a plane that is perpendicular to the circular base?
not quite a cirlcel but an oblong circle.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone what will be the result?
The intersection of the cone and that particular plane is a parabola.
