Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Conic Sections

Curated by ACT

The circle is one of four different shapes which can be created using "slices" through a cone, a 3-dimensional solid that has a circular base joined to a single point (called the vertex) by a curved side. If you tilt a cone, you get an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola. These are called cone sections.
