For a right cone, it is a hyperbola which becomes and isosceles triangle when the section passes through the apex.

∙ 8y agoIf passing through the tip, you get two straight lines that cross one another. Otherwise you get a hyperbola.

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