	Two cones formed from two circular sectors		2018-11-30
		From APARNA: The central angles of two sector of a circle are 60° and 120° . Using these sectors two cones are made. If the radius of the smaller cone is 5 cm, find the radius and base area of the larger cone. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two cones		2014-04-09
		From c.j: what is the length of the radius of the LARGER cone(the LARGER cone has a slant height of 15) when the SMALLER cone has a radius of 8 and a slant height of 12ft ,please help. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Cones, pyramids, cylinders and prisms		2012-09-13
		From Roy: I read on this page that a pyramid is a special kind of cone, but a cone is not a pyramid. Does this apply to cylinders. Is a prism a special kind of cylinder, but a cylinder is not a prism? Answered by Robert Dawson.
	Two conical tanks		2011-02-17
		From rustom: Two vertical conical tanks (both inverted) have their vertices connected by a short horizontal pipe. One tank, initially full of water, has an altitude of 6 ft. and a diameter of base 7 ft. The other tank, initially empty, has an altitude of 9 ft., and a diameter of base 8 ft. If the water is allowed to flow through the connecting pipe, find the level to which the water will ultimately rise in the empty tank (Neglect the water in the pipe.) Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two cones		2006-12-30
		From Cassie: A cone of radius 6 and height 12 and a different cone of radius 8 and height 12 intersect as shown in the figure below, where the vertex of one matches with the center of the base of the other. Find the volume of the intersection of the two cones (in exact form). Answered by Penny Nom.
	How fast is the water level rising		2006-08-12
		From Erin: Water runs into a conical tank at the rate of 9ft3/min. The tank stands point down and has a height of 10 ft. and a base radius of 5 ft. How fast is the water level rising when the water is 6 ft. deep? (V=1/3 pi r2 h). Answered by Penny Nom.
	Pyramids and cones		2006-06-06
		From Melissa: I was wondering if a cone can be considered a pyramid. Looking at many definitions of pyramids I have read that pyramids come to a common vertex. A cone comes to a vertex. But I also read that pyramids all have triangular faces. In this case a cone would not be considered a pyramid. Am I correct? Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Surface areas		2005-05-11
		From Jessica: How can I demonstrate to my high school students the reason for the formulas for the surface area of a prism, right cylinder, and regular pyramid, and right cone? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Making a cone		2003-12-22
		From Tracie: I am working on a craft project at home and I have been given the following information: 16" tall and 13" diameter at base, with 1 and 1/2 " opening at top. Is there a basic formula for creating a cone with this info? Answered by Claude Tardif and Penny Nom.
	A sphere inscribed in a cone		2003-08-10
		From A student: A sphere with radius 5cm is inscribed in a right circular cone 20 cm in height.find (a) the base radius ,volume of the cone (b)volume of the shaded space( to 3 sig fig) Answered by Penny Nom.
	The vertex of a cone		2003-03-27
		From Holly: I read your response to Callie about whether a cone has a vertex or not. Is it ONLY a vertex if both halves of the cone are together or can one half of the illustration have a vertex? Answered by Walter Whiteley.
	A paper model of a cone		2002-08-14
		From Bruce: I have made a paper model of a cone, cut a sloping section, and removed the top. I have drawn the major and minor axis on the paper surface of the section. The major axis is not symmetrical about the minor axis. To me, this is not an ellipse. To me, an ellipse is a tubular section, because this gives a symmetrical major axis. What is your opinion? Answered by Walter Whiteley and Chris Fisher.
	Conics		2002-05-29
		From Brooke: Which conic cannot be generated by an intersection of a plane and a double napped cone? Answered by Chris Fisher.
