Question

Give three examples from our daily life which are in the form of a cone.

Answer 1

Hint: We recall the shape of the cone which has an apex and circular base. We recall the different shapes of objects in our daily ad compare their shapes to the shape cone. We find birthday hats, ice cream cones, and funnel.

Complete step by step solution:
We know that a cone is a three-dimensional object formed by line segments that meet at a common point called apex and join the base that is in-plane. The base is generally circular. If the perpendicular line passing through the center of the circular base passes through the apex then the cone is called a right circular cone.

We have drawn the figure of the right circular cone above with apex A and the center of circular base B and C a point on the circular base. We recall the different shapes in our daily life and compare their shapes to the shape of a cone.

We know that birthday hats or party hats are in the shape of a cone which is made up of cardboard boxes and colored outside and worn on top of the head with threads.

We know that ice creams cone which is made in a wafer are also in the shape of a cone which helps us to hold the ice cream with our hands and to eat without a spoon or bowl.

We know that funnels are which have their top in the shape of a cone and is used to transfer liquid through the cylindrical bottom.

Note:
We note the other examples of cone-shaped objects are orange white color traffic cones used on roads to redirect traffic and temple top. The line segment joining the apex to the center is the height of the cone denoted as $ h $ and the line segment joining the apex to any point the circular base is called slant height and denoted as $ l $ . The surface made by the slant height is called the curved surface of the cone.
