Consider a non-degenerate open convex cone C with vertex the origin in the $n$2-dimensional Euclidean space $E^n$. We study volume properties of strictly convex hypersurfaces in the cone C. As a result, for example, if the volume of the region of an elliptic cone C cut off by the tangent hyperplane P of M at $p$ is independent of the point $p{\in}M$, then it is shown that the hypersurface M is part of an elliptic hyperboloid.

Parallel conics have interesting area and chord properties. In this paper, we study such properties of conics and conic hypersurfaces. First of all, we characterize conics in the plane with respect to the above mentioned properties. Finally, we establish some characterizations of hypersurfaces with centrally symmetric hyperplane sections.
