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


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.

The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.

What is the shape of a cross section formed when the cone is sliced by a slanted plane?

When a cone is sliced by a slanted plane, the cross section formed is typically an ellipse. The exact shape can vary depending on the angle and position of the plane relative to the cone. If the plane is parallel to the cone's base, the cross section will be a circle; if it intersects the cone at a steeper angle, the resulting shape will be an ellipse.


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.
