Question

A(n) _____ is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone, but is not parallel to an edge of the cone. A. circle B. hyperbola C. parabola D. ellipse

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D. ellipse

A(n) ellipse is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone, but is not parallel to an edge of the cone.

Answer 2

An ellipse is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nape of the cone, but is not parallel to an edge of the cone.

Explanation:

The conic section which is produced when we slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nape, but is not parallel to an edge of the cone is ellipse.

If the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone then the ellipse is changed to circle.
