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

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.
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.
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.
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 would a cone look like if it was cut horizontally?
It depends how the cone was standing relative to the horizontal plane of the cut:It will result in:a circle (if the cone is with its circular base in a horizontal plane)a parabola (if the cone is with its circular base is in a vertical plane)an ellipse (if the cone is tilted with its circular base somewhere between a horizontal plane and a vertical plane).
What is the shape of the cross-section formed when a cone intersects a plane as shown in the drawing?
A. Circle just did it on apex!
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.
