The apex angle is the angle in a cone that the apex, or point, of the cone takes. This is measured from two opposite sides of the cone, which is found by drawing a line from the apex to the center of the circular base, then drawing a plane through this line and using the lines of the plane's intersection of the cone to measure the angle.
The apical angle of a cone is the angle formed at the apex (or tip) between the two sloping sides of the cone. It is also known as the vertex angle. The value of the apical angle determines the shape of the cone - a smaller apical angle will result in a more acute cone, while a larger apical angle will produce a more obtuse cone.
Yes, the condenser in a microscope helps to focus and concentrate light onto the specimen by reducing the light cone angle. This focused light enhances the resolution and contrast of the image.
not all mountains are cone shaped only some sorts are.
The elongation of the ellipse increases as the eccentricity increases from 0 to 1. For eccentricity zero it's a circle, and with eccentricity 1 it's a parabola. They are all a class of curve called a conic section. If you can find a torch (flashlight) that produces a conical beam, shine it directly at the wall and you get a circle. Shine it at an inclined angle and you get an ellipse. If the angle is increased so that one side of the cone is parallel to the wall, you see a parabola on the wall. Any more of an angle and you get the 4th conic section, a hyperbola.
A cone-shaped tornado is simple a tornado whose funnel is cone-shaped. Tornado funnels may also appear rope-like, column-like, or appear wispy. The shape and size of a tornado do not necessarily indicate how strong the tornado is.
You are probably going for the word caldera.
a cone has a right angle
It could. If the nose is a right angle, it would be wide but a cone.
The apex angle of the cone is the angle that the apex takes. This is measured by the two intersections the cone takes through a perpendicular plane defined by the apex and the center of the circular base.
If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane so that the intersection goes through the cone's vertex as well as an edge of each nappe, the shape produced is a line. Not asked, but... If the angle of the plane is less than the angle of the cone, then the intersection is a point. If the angle of the plane is greater than the angle of the cone, then the intersection is two lines intersecting at the vertex. If the plane insersects at other than the vertex, then the intersection is a circle when the plane is perpendicular to the cone's axis, an ellipse when the plane's angle is less than the cone's angle, a parabola when the planes's angle equals the cone's angle, and two hyperbole's in the last case.
the cone has three sides
When a cone is sliced parallel to the base then the shape produced is a circle. If the cone is sliced at an angle so that the cut goes completely through the cone then an ellipse is produced. If the cut is made perpendicular to the cone's base then the shape produced is a parabola.
The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.
Apex (Angle)The apex is the pointed tip of a cone. The apex angle is the angle between the lines that define the apex, as shown to the left.
Cannot. If you do not know the angle of the cone, you cannot determine its height.
A cone shown in a circle
A cone does not have right angles.
There are no 90 degree angles in a cone. This capital 'L' shows an example of a right angle.
