Take CBT

How is a Circle formed as a conic section, based on the cutting plane's orientation?

A When the plane passes through the cone, parallel with the base and perpendicular to the axis.

Correct Answer

B When the plane makes the same angle as the elements.

C When the plane makes a smaller angle with the axis than do the elements.

D When the plane intersects the cone parallel to its side (elements).

Option A is the correct answer.

Page 3 describes a Circle: 'This shape results when a plane passes through the cone, parallel with the base and perpendicular to the axis.'

Consider how a perfect circle would be cut from a cone relative to its base and axis.
