Let's go though the choices.
Major axis will get shorter. TRUE, CHECK ME
As the plane moves closer to the vertex the ellipse stays the same shape but shrinks.
Ellipse will become a circle. FALSE
As long as the plane is tilted, the ellipse can't be a circle.
Ellipse will degenerate to a point. TRUE, CHECK ME
Eventually the plane gets to the vertex, at which point (ha!) we have a single point.
Nappes? Is that a word? FALSE
The plane needs a steeper angle, steeper than the generators, before it can pass through both halves.
The generators are the lines through the vertex that form the cone. The plane isn't steep enough to hold any of them. FALSE
Answer: 84°
Step-by-step explanation:
Pardon my drawing, I know it;s not prefect, and I'm not sure how to draw a figure on Brainly, but this is the best I can do. For this problem, it is easier to draw it out so you can see that the angles look like. Just pretend the lines are filled in, and this is a perfect parallelogram.

B /_______________/ D
As you can see, the angles given in the problem gives us a parallelogram. Since we know m∠ABD is 84° and m∠BAC is 37°, we know that m∠ACD is 84°. If you draw diagonal lines, ∠ABD and ∠ACD are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore, m∠ACD is 84°.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First check if the triangle is right.
If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.
longest side = 
and ( )² = 12
2² + (
)² = 4 + 8 = 12
Thus the triangle is right → C
