The conic sections are formed when a cone is sliced with a plane in a certain manner. Each section is formed from a different slice. Can you describe the slices that form the conic sections listed here?
For many it is difficult to visualize this slicing
and conic section formation. I have drawn several CAD Drawings
here that illustrate the sequence of slices and the figures created
after slicing a cone with a plane. Please use the layers button
