Answer:
D) a hyperbola
Step-by-step explanation:
IMO, the image is not helpful, as it suggests the ends of the curve are nearly parallel to each other. In fact, the ends of the curve asymptotically approach straight lines parallel to the sides of the cone. That is, there are asymptotes that form an X shape. This is a characteristic of a hyperbola.
___
A parabola is formed when the plane cuts the cone parallel to one side. That cut plane only intersects one nap of the cone. At a shallower angle yet, one gets an ellipse. Parallel to a base, one gets a circle.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Consider triangles AMP and ADC. In these triangles,
- angle A is the common angle, so
by reflexive property; - angles AMP and ADC are congruent as corresponding angles when two parallel lines MP and CD are cut by transversal AD.
Hence, triangles AMP and ADC are similar by AA similarity theorem.
Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides, thus

so

Consider triangles ACB and PCN. In these triangles,
- angle C is the common angle, so
by reflexive property; - angles ABC and PCN are congruent as corresponding angles when two parallel lines PN and AB are cut by transversal BC.
Hence, triangles ACB and PCN are similar by AA similarity theorem.
Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides, thus

so
