Let $C$ be a double napped right circular cone whose base is $B$.

Let $D$ be a plane which intersects $C$.

Let $K$ be the conic section formed by the intersection of $C$ with $D$.

The plane $D$ is known as the slicing plane of $C$ for $K$.

The slicing plane is also known as the plane of section.
