A dicone is a special case of a pyramid where the base is a cone. It is also a special case of a dipyramid where the base is a circle. It is bounded by two cones and an arrinder.
Equations
- Variables:
r ⇒ radius of base of dicone
h ⇒ height of dicone
- All points (x, y, z, w) that lie on the surface of a dicone will satisfy the following equations:
Unknown
- The hypervolumes of a dicone are given by:
Unknown
- The realmic cross-sections (n) of a dicone are:
Unknown
Projection
The following are the two possible types of parallel projections for a dicone:

The nappe-first parallel projection of the dicone into 3-space is a tetrahedron.
