Given a right circular cone a plane that intersects the cone (not at the vertex) and is parallel to its edge will always result
in a parabola regardless of the shape of the cone true or false

Answer:
The given statement is a correct statement i.e. TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that when a right circular cone is intersected by a plane parallel to it's edge and not passing through the vertex then the cross-section that is formed on this slicing will be a parabola.
Also, a circle is formed when the slicing is done parallel to the base.
This slicing could also be seen with the help of the figure attached to the answer.
