1. Cone

   A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex. A cone is formed by a set of line segments, half-lines, or lines connecting a common point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is in a plane that does not contain the apex. Depending on the author, the base may be restricted to be a circle, any one-dimensional quadratic form in the plane, any closed one-dimensional figure, or any of the above plus all the enclosed points. If the enclosed points are included in the base, the cone is a solid object; otherwise it is a two-dimensional object in three-dimensional space. In the case of a solid object, the boundary formed by these lines or partial lines is called the lateral surface; if the lateral surface is unbounded, it is a conical surface. In the case of line segments, the cone does not extend beyond the base, while in the case of half-lines, it extends infinitely far. In the case of lines, the cone extends infinitely far in both directions from the apex, in which case it is sometimes called a double cone. Either half of a double cone on one side of the apex is called a nappe. The axis of a cone is the straight line (if any), passing through the apex, about which the base (and the whole cone) has a circular symmetry. In common usage in elementary geometry, cones are assumed to be right circular, where circular means that the base is a circle and right means that the axis passes through the centre of the base at right angles to its plane. If the cone is right circular the intersection of a plane with the lateral surface is a conic section. In general, however, the base may be any shape and the apex may lie anywhere (though it is usually assumed that the base is bounded and therefore has finite area, and that the apex lies outside the plane of the base). Contrasted with right cones are oblique cones, in which the axis passes through the centre of the base non-perpendicularly.A cone with a polygonal base is called a pyramid. Depending on the context, "cone" may also mean specifically a convex cone or a projective cone. Cones can also be generalized to higher dimensions.

1. cone

   A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base, often circular, to a point called the apex or vertex. The straight line extending from the base to the apex is known as the axis of the cone. Cone is defined mathematically as a surface formed by a straight line (the side edge) passing through a fixed point (the apex), and moving along a closed curve (the base).

1. Conenoun

   a solid of the form described by the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of the sides adjacent to the right angle; -- called also a right cone. More generally, any solid having a vertical point and bounded by a surface which is described by a straight line always passing through that vertical point; a solid having a circle for its base and tapering to a point or vertex

2. Conenoun

   anything shaped more or less like a mathematical cone; as, a volcanic cone, a collection of scoriae around the crater of a volcano, usually heaped up in a conical form

3. Conenoun

   the fruit or strobile of the Coniferae, as of the pine, fir, cedar, and cypress. It is composed of woody scales, each one of which has one or two seeds at its base

4. Conenoun

   a shell of the genus Conus, having a conical form

5. Coneverb

   to render cone-shaped; to bevel like the circular segment of a cone; as, to cone the tires of car wheels

6. Etymology: [L. conus cone (in sense 1), Gr. kw^nos; akin to Skr. ana whetstone, L. cuneus wedge, and prob. to E. hone. See Hone, n.]

1. Cone

   A cone is an -dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a base to a point called the apex or vertex. Formally, it is the solid figure formed by the locus of all straight line segments that join the apex to the base. The term "cone" is sometimes used to refer to the surface or the lateral surface of this solid figure. The axis of a cone is the straight line, passing through the apex, about which the base has a rotational symmetry. In common usage in elementary geometry, cones are assumed to be right circular, where right means that the axis passes through the centre of the base at right angles to its plane, and circular means that the base is a circle. Contrasted with right cones are oblique cones, in which the axis does not pass perpendicularly through the centre of the base. In general, however, the base may be any shape, and the apex may lie anywhere. For example, a pyramid is technically a cone with a polygonal base.
