Conic Sections
Here is Miles. He was a bad dog today, so he had to wear a dunce cap. His dunce cap is a cone. Can you think of cones that you see in your everyday life?
Cones are conic sections. A conic section is a curve that is made when a plane intersects a cone. Other conic sections are circles, ellipses, hyperbola, and parabolas. You will learn more about them in geometry.
