Discussion
A cone is cut by a plane parallel to its axis, clear of the apex. What curve appears?
Answer: C
Correct answer: a hyperbola
A plane parallel to the axis is steeper than any generator, so it cuts the surface in a hyperbola. Only one branch appears on a single cone; the second branch belongs to the opposite nappe, which a solid cone does not have.
