Use cylindrical radius . The upper cone is and the lower elliptic paraboloid is , both with . They meet along the unit circle in . The enclosed solid is
Thus the coordinate ranges on the complete surface are
These separate ranges do not mean every point of their Cartesian product lies on the surface. A vertical cross-section has a straight upper cone profile and a curved lower paraboloid profile.
Figure 1.
A cone and a paraboloid joined along their unit-circle rim
. The upper cone has apex ; the lower elliptic paraboloid has vertex . Both meet at cylindrical radius one and height zero. The meridian cross-section shows the enclosed vertical range at each radius. Details.
