Definition Of Cone

Cone is a three-dimensional figure that has one circular base and one vertex.

More About Cone

Right Cone: A right cone is a cone in which the vertex is aligned directly above the center of the base. The base need not be a circle here.
Right Circular Cone: When the base of a right cone is a circle, it is called a right circular cone. In a right circular cone, each point on the circle is equidistant from the vertex of the cone.

Oblique Cone: When the vertex of a cone is not aligned directly above the center of its base, it is called an oblique cone.

Solved Example on Cone

Ques: Find the base area of a cone of height 5 units and base radius 2 units.

Choices:

A. 5
B. 2
C. 4
D. 12.57
