Homonym: cones (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 has an apex that is not aligned with the center. Cones are also studied in calculus and can be used to model various physical phenomena.
