This example demonstrates the intersection of a single cone and a plane. Key mathematical concepts include solid geometry, specifically the intersection of a cone and a plane. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Point, Cone, PointIn, and Plane, the intersection of a cone and a plane can be constructed. Suitable for high school geometry education or self-study.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(zAxis, xOyPlane) → A
  2. Point(zAxis) → B
  3. Cone(A, B, 4) → a, c, b
  4. PointIn(b) → C
  5. PointIn(b) → D
  6. PointIn(b) → E
  7. Plane(C, D, E) → d
  8. IntersectPath(d, a) → e
  9. Corner(e) → F, G, H, I
