Formation of conic sections ✍️
Circle: When the cutting plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the cross-section is a circle.
Ellipse: When the plane is angled, but still cuts through only one cone (without being parallel to the side of the cone), the result is an ellipse.
Parabola: If the plane is parallel to the side (slant) of the cone, it creates a parabola.
Hyperbola: If the plane cuts both halves of the double cone, it forms a hyperbola - two separate curves.
Life tip: Always return a car borrowed from a friend in better condition than when it was lent to you. Return it with a full tank of gas or cleaner than when it was lent to you.
In Gujarat, India, a project launched in 2012 is aimed to use the 532 km long network of Narmada canals across the state for installing solar panels & generate electricity. A solution that saves land, reduces evaporative losses & keeps solar panels cooler: https://t.co/Diea5TOECJ
