Okay so the 3 points make a triangle, and I know that when it's rotated it'll make a cone but I need to elaborat

what kind of triangle does it make?

anonymous · Answer

I'm actually not sure how to elaborate on this one :/

unofficialllyy · Answer

Yeah me either...it's like obvious. And @welshfella a right triangle I think

welshfella · Answer

points A and B are both on x -axis and Point C is at y = 3 directly above the origin

welshfella · Answer

- right a right-angled triangle 

theres nothing more to elaborate on , I dont think.

triciaal · Answer

meant y = 6 not y = 3

welshfella · Answer

Its because its a right angle triangle with the right angle at the origin that it forms a cone when rotated around y-axis.

Right, I get it. Thanks :)
