A cone is cut through a plane parallel to its base and then the cone that is formed on one side of that plane is moved. The new part that is left over on the other side of the plane is called_______________.
- AFrustum of a cone
- BCone
- CCylinder
- DSphere
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When a right circular cone is sliced by a plane parallel to its base, it is divided into two parts:
1. A smaller cone at the top.
2. The remaining lower portion containing the original base.
This lower remaining portion with two parallel circular bases of different radii is geometrically defined as the Frustum of a cone.
