Cross Section
A Circle.
a square
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).
The intersection of a line and a plane can result in either a single point, if the line passes through the plane, or no intersection at all if the line is parallel to the plane and does not touch it. In some cases, if the line lies entirely within the plane, every point on the line will be an intersection point. Thus, the nature of the intersection depends on the relative positions of the line and the plane.
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.
It is the cross-section of the figure by the plane.
