A plane that intersects the vertex of a cone is known as a "vertex plane." This plane can be oriented in various ways, such as being vertical, horizontal, or at an angle, but it must pass through the apex (vertex) of the cone. Depending on the angle of intersection, the resulting shape can vary, producing different conic sections like circles, ellipses, parabolas, or hyperbolas.
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.
circle
True.
The intersection of a right circular cone with a plane that is perpendicular to the cone's axis and does not pass through the vertex will result in a circle. This is because the plane cuts through the cone at a constant distance from the vertex, creating a cross-section that is a circle. The size of the circle depends on how far the plane is from the vertex along the cone's axis.
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 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.
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.
