In geometry, a bicone or dicone (from Template:Langx, and Greek: di-, both meaning "two") is the three-dimensional surface of revolution of a rhombus around one of its axes of symmetry. Equivalently, a bicone is the surface created by joining two congruent right circular cones at their bases. A bicone has circular symmetry and orthogonal bilateral symmetry.

Geometry

For a bicone with radius r and half-height h, the volume is

V=23πr2h

and the surface area is

A=2πr

where

=r2+h2

is the slant height.
