The parabola, for example, has been used to approximate projectile trajectories. The hyperbola arises in biochemistry in enzyme kinetics. You must have seen numerous applications of the circle. There are many more uses for these mathematical objects.

Which Conic sections describes a closed curve?
Circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas are all conic sections. Out of these conic sections, the circle and ellipse are the ones which define a closed curve.
Why are conic section called conic sections?
Circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are called conic sections because they can be obtained as a intersection of a plane with a double- napped circular cone. If the plane passes through vertex of the double-napped cone, then the intersection is a point, a pair of straight lines or a single line. These are called degenerate conic sections. Because they are sections of a cone or a cone shaped object.
What conic sections represent a closed curve?
Ellipse circle
Where can you find conic sections in the world around you?
You can find them in mountains, in balls, and in tables.
Why are conic sections called conic?
They are the shapes of the slices when you slice a cone. For example, when you slice it parallel to the base and look at the shape of the slice, you see the conic section known as a "circle". The others are the "ellipse", the "parabola", and the "hyperbola". Which one you get depends only on how you tilt the knife when you slice the cone.
What are the Types of conic sections?
The types of conic sections are circles, parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.

What are the conic sections in a building?
The conic sections of a building are the parts that take a conic shaped design some examples would be the Berlin Reichstag Dome and the Sony Center in Berlin.
How is basketball connected to conic sections?
The only thing I can think of is a lobbed shot at the basket will approximately follow the path of a parabola, which is one of the conic sections.
