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.

When a plane intersects both nappes of a right circular cone without passing through the vertex, the resulting curve is a hyperbola. This occurs because the plane cuts through both sides of the cone, creating two separate branches of the hyperbola. The precise shape and orientation of the hyperbola depend on the angle at which the plane intersects the cone.
True.

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.
