 Conic Sections
The conics were first defined as the intersection of: a right circular cone of varying vertex angle; a plane perpendicular to an element of the cone.
Conic section is the intersection of a right (or oblique) circular cone and a plane.

 PlanetMath: cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$
The portion of the surface of the cone belonging to the conical surface is called the lateral surface or the mantle of the solid cone and the portion belonging to the plane is the base of the solid cone.
The intersections of a solid cone and the planes parallel to the base plane are similar.
In any cone, the line segment of a ruling between the base plane and the apex is a side line of the cone.

 Surface of a Cone (C)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A right circular cone is a cone whose base is a disk and whose vertex lies on the line perpendicular to the base and passing through the center of the base.
Such a cone is characterized by the radius of the base and the altitude of the cone, that is, the distance from the vertex to the center of the base.
The slant height of such a cone is the length of a straight line drawn from any point on the perimeter of the cone to the vertex.

 cone
A shape (its name comes from the Greek konos for pinecone) that has a circular or elliptical base and a vertex, also known as an apex, lying outside the plane of the base and that is formed from all the line segments joining points on the edge of the base to the vertex.
If the base is a circle, the shape is a circular cone; if the line, or axis, from the center of the base to the vertex is perpendicular to the base, then it is a right cone (an ice-cream cone is a right circular cone); otherwise it's an oblique cone.
Another way to think of a cone is as a surface of revolution generated by a line that rotates around a fixed point, at a fixed angle from another line (the axis), both lines passing through that fixed point.

 Right Circular Cone Calculator
The formula for finding circular area has already been discussed on this site as well as the Pythagorean Theorem which can be used to calculate slant height.
is that part of a right circular cone between the base of the cone and a plane which intersects the cone parallel to the base.
There are formulas for frustums, but if you think about it, the calculations can be done by extending the frustum height to a vertex and then subtracting the "upper" cone's values from the complete (or extended) cone yielding the values for the frustum.

So, the correct formula for the frustum of a right circular cone is pi*H(r^2 + rR + R^2)/3 Now, suppose that you have a cone with a base of radius r and height H and it is cut by a plane parallel to and h units above the base.
Let A be the center of the circle at the base of the cone, B the center of the circle up where the plane sliced the cone, and C the vertex of the cone.
Use r for the radius and rh(r - x) for the height of the original cone and use x for the radius and rh(r - x) - h for the height of the cone that was removed.

Date: 10/07/2001 at 19:45:43 From: Jeffrey A Dozier Subject: Volume of a right circular cone Using calculus, derive the formula for the volume of a right circular cone with a radius of r and height h.
I seem to remember that there is a way using calculus to create a proof showing that the volume of a right circular cone is: pi r^2 h/3.
Note that the resulting solid would be a right circular cone with height h and radius r.
