Question

A cone is cut by a plane parallel to the slant height of the cone. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed

Answer 1

It would be a parabola because if it’s shape

Answer 2

We get a PARABOLA when we cut the cone parallel to slant height.

Explanation:

We are given with a cone.

We need to tell the shape of the cross section formed when a plane cut eh cone parallel to the slant height.

When a plane cut the cone parallel to slant height we get a shape which has a vertex on one side and open from other side.

This shape represent a Parabola.

Therefore, We get a PARABOLA when we cut the cone parallel to slant height.
