Homonym: Cone (Ice Cream)
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base to a single point called the apex. It is commonly found in nature and everyday objects, such as ice cream cones and traffic cones. The base of a cone is usually circular, and its height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.
In mathematics, cones can be classified into two main types: right cones and oblique cones. A right cone has its apex directly above the center of the base, while an oblique cone leans to one side. The volume and surface area of a cone can be calculated using specific formulas involving its radius and height.
