CONE Meaning and Definition

  1. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is characterized by a flat circular base and a pointed tip, known as the apex. It is a type of solid figure that resembles a three-dimensional version of a ice cream cone or traffic cone. The base of a cone is a circular shape, and all points on the base are equidistant from the apex.

    Cones are commonly encountered in everyday life, such as in ice cream cones, waffle cones, and carrier cones used for directing traffic. They are also prevalent in various fields of mathematics, including geometry and calculus.

    In geometry, a cone is classified as a double-curved surface. It has one curved side that extends upward from the base and gradually narrows until it meets at the apex. The distance from the apex to any point on the base is known as the height of the cone. The surface area of a cone is calculated by adding the area of the curved side to the area of the base. The volume of a cone can be derived by multiplying the area of the base by the height and dividing by three.

    Overall, a cone is characterized by its circular base, pointed apex, and sloping sides that converge to a single vertex. Their distinctive shape and practical applications make cones a common and versatile figure in both mathematics and everyday life.

  2. 1. A figure having a circular base with sides inclined so as to meet at a point above. 2. One of the flask-shaped figures Conarium or pineal body. 4. The mechanical element of a tooth crown, cusp.
