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.
How many sides does a cone shape have?
2 sides, the base and the cone.
What does cone cylinder and a sphere have in common?
A circular cross-section.
What shape is formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane that is parallel to a cone's base not containing the cone's vertex?
The shape described by the intersection of the cone and the plane is simply a circle.
What shape has one circular base?
A cone.
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.
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.
Given a cone with a radius of 2 feet and a height of 9 feet what shape is formed by a perpendicular cross section through the cone's center?
The cross section will be a triangle with base 2 feet and a vertical height of 9 feet.
Would the horizontal cross section of a cone be congruent to its base?
No because it would be smaller.
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.
Can a triangle be obtained on the cross section of a cone?
Yes if cut in half from its apex to its base diameter.
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!
Area of cross-section mean?
A "cross section" is what occurs when you "slice" a given shape in a particular way, so that you can visualise the shape in two parts (with 2 new faces). The cross section is the surface (face) of the side which you have just sliced. E.g If you imagine a cone, with the circular base resting on a surface. You now slice the cone horizontally, so that you now have a very small cone (on top), and a "truncated cone" (2 circular faces, top one slightly smaller, with sloping sides joining them) below. The "cross section" is the top face of the truncated cone, and the lower face of the small cone (both cross sections are the same!). i.e they are the new "sides" that you have created. These new "faces" are both circular, so if you were to find the area you would use the formula pi*radius^squared = area.
What shape is a possible cross section of a cone?
A point, a straight line, a circle, an ellipse, a parabola and half a hyperbola.
What is the cross section of the cone?
Circle
What is the parallel cross section of a cone?
The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.
