A cross-section refers to the end of a prism, cones are not prisms. A shape like a cylinder is a prism. Hexagonal prisms have hexagonal cross-sections, and pentagonal prisms have pentagonal cross-sections. It's that simple.
But for the sake of what the question COULD mean, I'll try and help.
The easiest way to find the shape of a part of a three-dimensional object is to tear it apart (literally) and look at its net. The curved surface area of the cone looks like a rectangle when the cone is split open.
Here are some formulas for the fun of things:
Volume of cone = 1/3πr2h
Surface area of cone =
πrs +
πr2
π = Circumference (Perimeter of the circle) / Diameter (Length from one end of the circumference to the other end passing through the centre)
r = Radius (Half the diameter)
s = Side length (Up the side of the cone to the top)

What is the vertical cross section of a cone?
The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.
What does cone cylinder and a sphere have in common?
A circular cross-section.
What shape is cross section of a cone?
It depends on the angular plane of the Cross-section, to the conic axis. The conic-axis is a line from the point of the cone to the centre of a circular cross-section. #1 ; Cross section perpendicular to the acix is a CIRCLE. #2 ; Cross section angled to ther sides of the cone is an ELLIPSE #3 ; Cross section were the ends do not touch the circular face is a PARABOLA #4 ' Cross sectional plane which is parallel to the axis is a HYPERBOLA. The Cartesian Equations for each type are ;- #1 ; Circle ' x^(2) + y^(2) = 1 #2 ; Ellipse ' x^(2)/a^(2) + y^(2)/b^(2) = 1 #3 ; Parabola ' y^(2) = 4ax #4 ; Hyperbola ' x^(2)/a^(2) - y^(2)/b^(2) = 1

What is the shape of a cross section formed when the cone is sliced by a slanted plane?
When a cone is sliced by a slanted plane, the cross section formed is typically an ellipse. The exact shape can vary depending on the angle and position of the plane relative to the cone. If the plane is parallel to the cone's base, the cross section will be a circle; if it intersects the cone at a steeper angle, the resulting shape will be an ellipse.
Would the horizontal cross section of a cone be congruent to its base?
No because it would be smaller.
True or false the horizontal cross-sectional shapes of a cone are all congruent except for the vertex?
False. Every cross-sectional shape of a cone is not congruent.
What is the shape of the cross section of a cone if the cut is made parallel to the base?
If a cut is made parallel to the base of a cone, the shape of the cross section is a circle. This circular cross section maintains the proportional dimensions of the cone's base, and its radius decreases as the cut moves closer to the apex of the cone. The resulting circles are similar to the base of the cone but vary in size depending on the height at which the cut is made.
Does a cross section always have to be horizontal or vertical?
No. Some of the classic curves studied by mathematicians: ellipses, hyperbola are cross sections of a cone taken at an angle.
What does a cone prism look like?
By definition, the circular cross-section of a cone changes linearly in width as you go along its axis. By definition, the cross-section of a prism is constant along its axis. So, by definition, a cone prism is an impossible shape.
The shapes of the horizontal cross-sections of the cone below are all congruent except for the vertex.?
The horizontal cross-sections of a cone are circular in shape, and these circles are congruent to each other at all heights except for the vertex, which is a single point. As you move away from the vertex along the height of the cone, the diameter of the circular cross-sections increases uniformly. This consistent shape results in a series of congruent circles, illustrating the cone's geometric properties.
What is a cross section of a right circular cone?
A cross section of a right circular cone is a two-dimensional shape obtained by slicing the cone perpendicular to its axis. Depending on the position of the cut, the cross section can be a circle, an ellipse, or a triangle. If the cut is made parallel to the base, the cross section will be a smaller circle. If the cut is made vertically through the apex and perpendicular to the base, it will form a triangle.
Why is a traffic cone a cone?
The strongest shape in nature is the triangle. A traffic cone has a cross section of a triangle. This would give it strength especially when knocked into by the traffic.
