![]() ![]() The axis of a cone is the straight line (if any), passing through the apex, about which the base (and the whole cone) has a circular symmetry. Either half of a double cone on one side of the apex is called a nappe. In the case of lines, the cone extends infinitely far in both directions from the apex, in which case it is sometimes called a double cone. In the case of line segments, the cone does not extend beyond the base, while in the case of half-lines, it extends infinitely far. In the case of a solid object, the boundary formed by these lines or partial lines is called the lateral surface if the lateral surface is unbounded, it is a conical surface. If the enclosed points are included in the base, the cone is a solid object otherwise it is a two-dimensional object in three-dimensional space. Depending on the author, the base may be restricted to be a circle, any one-dimensional quadratic form in the plane, any closed one-dimensional figure, or any of the above plus all the enclosed points. ![]() A right circular cone with the radius of its base r, its height h, its slant height c and its angle θ.Ĭlose ▲ A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone A double cone (not shown infinitely extended) 3D model of a coneĪ cone is formed by a set of line segments, half-lines, or lines connecting a common point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is in a plane that does not contain the apex. ![]()
