Use both orientation and location to describe a cone's cross-section. A plane parallel to the base meets the cone at one constant height and preserves the base's rotational symmetry, while similarity makes the section radius proportional to its distance from the vertex. Describe the true planar shape and its relative size, not the foreshortened outline in a perspective sketch.
