What is the shape of the base cross section of a cone?

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 is a cross section of a cuboid?
The cross-section of a cuboid is unified in the shape of a square or a rectangle.
What does cone cylinder and a sphere have in common?
A circular cross-section.
What is the shape of a horizontal cross section of a cone?
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 = 1/3πr2hSurface area of cone =πrs +πr2π = 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 shape of the base cross section of a cone?

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.
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.
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.
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.
What is the horrizontal cross section of a cone?
If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
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 is the horizontal cross section of a cone?
A CIRCLE.
