Cones A cone is a solid with a circular base and a vertex. It has the following characteristics: • The base is a circle. • The axis is the segment with endpoints that are the vertex and the center of the circle. • The altitude is the segment from the vertex that is perpendicular to the base. Right cone – axis and altitude are the same Oblique cone – leaning over
