OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

Directrix (directrix):

The distance from the apex (vertex) of a cone to the base is the altitude. It is the shortest (perpendicular distance) line segment between the apex of a cone and the (possibly extended) base. Altitude also refers to the length of this segment. So, that would be (as already given without explanation :) ) segment CE.
