Cones

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat, circular base to a point called the apex or vertex. They are frequently found in nature and human-made objects. cones can be solid or hollow. They are often associated with ice cream and traffic control, but this versatile form appears across diverse fields. The shape's properties of volume, surface area, and ability to focus energy make it a valuable tool in engineering, architecture, and even biology. The use of the word 'cones' can also describe pine cones from pine trees, used for decoration or even the release of seeds.
