Question

Which of the following is true when a plane intersects a cone to form a hyperbola? The plane slices through a double cone and is perpendicular to the base of the cone. The plane slices through a single cone and is parallel to the base of the cone. The plane slices through a single cone and is at an angle parallel to the slanted edge of the cone. The plane slices through a double cone and is parallel to the base of the cone.
