What is Conic? The sectional plane obtained by the intersection of a Right Circular Solid Cone, relative to its different positions and concerning the axis of the cone, is called Conic . Conic can be four (4) types: (1) Circle : When the sectional plane is perpendicular to the axis, parallel to the base, and cuts all the generators, the section is a Circle . We've previously discussed in detail about circles .   (2) Ellipse: When the sectional plane is inclined to the axis and cuts all the generators, the section is an Ellipse . (3) Parabola: When the sectional plane i
