This question is basically asking what you would see if you were looking at a cone from the sides. You can picture this like an ice cream cone, what shape does it appear to be from the side? If you were to flatten this onto a 2d plane like that, it would be a triangle. Now if it was parallel to the base, it would be like looking from the bottom, in which case it would be a circle.
