The cylinder that is sliced by the plane which is not parallel to the base of the cylinder and intersects only at the lateral surface is called an ellipse.
<h3>What is the formation of an Ellipse in a Cylinder?</h3>
When a cylinder with a longitudinal axis (z) is sliced at an angle to the xy plane, an elliptical shape is created.
In a circle, every plane crosses a circular cylinder perpendicularly to its axis. A plane that is neither at right angles to the axis nor parallel to it, crosses the cylinder in an elliptical shape.
