A right circular cone looks like a martini glass. Actually, the martini glass is only a part of one half of the cone. Think also of an ice cream cone, again being part of one half.
Formally, the right circular cone is the surface in three-dimensional space swept by a line that intersects a point and the domain of the circumference of a circle, said point lying on a line perpendicular (right angle) to the circle and intersecting its radius. Since the line sweeps through a point, there are two nappes, one on each side of that single point. The perpendicular line is called the axis, and the point is called the vertex.

What is name of half of a right circular cone?
I don't think there is a special name for that.
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 what?
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
What three-dimensional shape is formed by rotating a right triangle 360 degrees around one of its legs?
The result is a right cone
Given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone not at the vertex and is parallel to its edge will always result in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone?
True
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 will be an?
hyperbola
What Difference between cone and right circular cone?
A right circular cone is perfectly balanced on its circular base. Imagine a cone that has a circular base, but leans to one side - this is a non right circular cone.
What solid figure is this when it has a round top and a triangle front and side view?
A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.A right circular cone balanced on its apex.
What is mean by right circular cone?
A Right Circular Cone is one wherein the base of the cone is circular and the axis of the cone is perpendicular to the base and passes through the center of the base and the vertex of the cone.
Difference between cone and right circular cone?
In a right circular cone the apex is directly above the centre of the base.
What is the figure called formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone?
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).
what Is an oblique circular cone?
In a right circular cone a line from the vertex to the center of the circular base is perpendicular to the base. In an oblique circular cone that same line will not be perpendicular.
What is half of a right circular cone?
nappe :)
Is a right circular cone can have a triangle as a base?
no
Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the?
Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the vertex.
How many lines of symmetry does a circular cone have?
If it is a right circular cone, it has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. If it is an oblique circular cone, it has one plane of symmetry.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone is what?
The intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that is parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. However, if the vertex of the cone lies on the plane, then the intersection is simply two intersecting lines.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex?
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.
