Question

A cone is cut by a plane as shown, where the plane is not perpendicular to the base. The cross-section of the cone and the plane is

Answer 1

The shape is a parabola. Hope this helped :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The cross-section of the cone and the plane is oval shape

Explanation:

A cone is cut by a plane, where the plane is not perpendicular to the base. The cross-section of the cone and the plane is not circular shape.

If the plane perpendicular to the base it is circular shape,

Here the cutting plane is not perpendicular to the base of cone. Therefore it is in oval shape.
