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.

noun - A shape formed by spinning an isosceles triangle into realmspace, around its symmetry axis. Can also be formed by connecting all points on the edge of a circle to a point some distance away from the circle in realmspace, up or down from the center of the circle. It is the analog of the sphone in tetraspace.

in general, a cone is the locus of (i.e. surface traced by) the surface formed by lines joining every point of the boundary of a fixed planar closed curve (the base) to a common vertex; commonly, a right circular cone; a "solid cone" is a solid (or the space) bounded by the planar closed curve, called the base, and the line segments connecting the base to the vertex. The area of a solid cone is (1/3)Ah, where A is the area of the base, and h is the

The figures below show a right cone and an oblique cone. The base of a cone is a circle and its interior. The radius of a cone is the radius of the base. The vertex of a cone is a point not in the same plane as the base. The altitude of a cone is the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base. The height of a cone is the length of the altitude. If the line segment connecting the vertex of a cone with the center of its base is perpendicular to the base, then it is a right coneĀ  (Lesson 11.2).
