conic section

• Courbe obtenue par l'intersection d'un cône circulaire droit avec un plan, produisant des figures telles que des cercles, des ellipses, des paraboles et des hyperboles.

A curve obtained by intersecting a right circular cone with a plane, resulting in shapes such as circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.

1. Curve from a coneC1formal

   A curve obtained by intersecting a right circular cone with a plane. The main types are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.

   section conique

   • In geometry class, we studied the properties of each conic section.
   • A parabola is a conic section formed when the plane is parallel to the side of the cone.
   • The orbits of planets are conic sections, specifically ellipses.
