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 else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
The point the line and pair of intersecting lines are special types of conic sections?
Yes, the point, line, and pair of intersecting lines are considered special cases of conic sections. A point can be viewed as a degenerate conic, representing a single location in space. A line can also be seen as a degenerate form of a conic section, specifically a hyperbola or a parabola that has collapsed into a straight line. Similarly, a pair of intersecting lines can be regarded as the degenerate case of a conic section formed by the intersection of two distinct conics.

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.
Is a set of points equidistant from a given point called the center?
Yes. This is also seen in conic sections.
