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).
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.
Section plane is the intersection of a plane cutting through a solid
