If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone but not through the vertex as in the picture below what shape is produced?
A line is produced
How does a right circular cone look?
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.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that passes through one of its nappes but the plane is neither parallel to the edge of the cone nor perpendicular to the cones axis the resulting curve will?
