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.

Why are all mountains cone shaped?
not all mountains are cone shaped only some sorts are.
Which eccentricities represent most elongated ellispe?
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.
Are stalagmites cone shaped deposits?
yes they are
What is a cone shaped tornado?
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.
What causes rainbows to bend?
Each droplet of rain is actually a sphere that refracts white light from the sun into all the different colors of the spectrum. Each visible color comes off at a different angle from each drop in the shape of a cone. The droplets directly in front of you are throwing cones of color all around you and you can't see them. As you reach a certain angle away from you, you catch the small part of each cone from millions of spheres and it the colors appear to form a circle. In a plane you can see rainbows in full circles. On the ground you lose half to the horizon. Also, this is why you can't find the gold at the end of the rainbow. Because it always depends on your position relative to the sun and the rain, it will always move as you move or disappear.
What are facts about a cone?
a cone has a right angle
Does a cone have a right angle?
It could. If the nose is a right angle, it would be wide but a cone.
What is cone angle?
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 what shape is produced?
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.
What is produced when you slice a cone at different angles?
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.
What is the parallel cross section of a cone?
The answer depends on the angle at which the axis of the cone intersects the cross-sections.
What is an apex angle?
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.
How do you find the height of a cone with a diameter of 20 meters?
Cannot. If you do not know the angle of the cone, you cannot determine its height.
Symbol for first angle projection?
A cone shown in a circle
How many right angles in a cone?
A cone does not have right angles.
How many right angles does a cone have?
There are no 90 degree angles in a cone. This capital 'L' shows an example of a right angle.
What angle will give the largest cone volume if a rod of length l is inclined at an angle theta to the x axis and the cone is formed by rotating this rod around the x axis?
In general the volume of any cone is: 1/3*pi*radius2*height
