Page 414 - Every section of a circular cone made by a plane parallel to the base is a circle. Let the section abed of the circular cone S-ABCD be parallel to the base. To prove that abed is a circle. Proof. Let 0 be the centre of the base, and let o be the point in which the axis SO pierces the plane of the parallel section.
