Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven : A cone is sliced by a plane parallel to its base, but not passing through its apex.
When a cone is sliced by a plane parallel to its base, but not passing through its apex, the shape of the resulting cross-section will be a circle.
As the base of the cone is circular, the cross-section will also be the same i.e. circular shaped.
Hence, "Circle" is the correct answer.
Additional Information A cone is sliced by a plane parallel to its base, but not passing through its apex ⇒ It means the plane is cutting through the cone at a certain height above the base, without intersecting the very tip (apex) of the cone.
