A cone is a three dimensional geometric shape. It is the locus of all line segments between a simply connected region of a plane (the base) and a point (the apex) outside the plane.
There are four types of cones; circular, elliptical, right and oblique all of which are conic solids. All pyramids are also cones, in otherwords it is the generalization of a pyramid to non-polygonal bases. In common usage and elementary geometry, a cone refers to a right circular cone. The boundary of a conic solid is a conic surface. A cone with its apex cut off by a plane parallel to its base is called a truncated cone or frustum.
