For a right cone, it is a hyperbola which becomes and isosceles triangle when the section passes through the apex.
No. Some of the classic curves studied by mathematicians: ellipses, hyperbola are cross sections of a cone taken at an angle.
If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
Circle
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.
It is a rectangle.
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.
The cross section will be a triangle with base 2 feet and a vertical height of 9 feet.
No. Some of the classic curves studied by mathematicians: ellipses, hyperbola are cross sections of a cone taken at an angle.
Circle
The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.
If it a right cone then it is a circle, otherwise an ellipse.
