Question

What is the shape of the cross section of the cone in this situation?Cone is sliced so the cross section is parallel to the base.

What is the shape of the cross section of the cone in this situation? Cone is sliced so the cross section is perpendicular to the base and passes through the vertex.

Answer 1

Part 1) The cross section produced from slicing parallel with the base would be that of a circular shape.

Part 2) The cone is sliced perpendicular, this would result in a cross section that is triangularly shaped.
