Answer:

Ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

I guessed and got it right. Sorry I couldn't help you but hopefully it can help someone else

The Conic Section that is formed from intersection of the central axis at an angle between 40° and 90° is; An Ellipse

How to transform a Plane?

Let us assume that the plane cuts the cone in such a manner that the plane is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the axis and also the angle of intersection is greater than the generator angle.

Thus, we can say that when the plane intersects the double napped cone such that the angle between the vertex and the angle is greater than the vertex angle, the resulting conic section in the form of a closed curve is called an ellipse.
