This example demonstrates various conic sections generated by different relative positions between a cone and a plane, including circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas. Key math concepts involved are conic sections, quadratic curves, parametric equations, and 3D vectors. Construction highlights include using commands like Cone, IntersectPath, Intersect, and Mirror in GeoGebra. Suitable for high school students and above to learn about the formation principles and properties of conic sections, ideal for mathematical instruction and geometric visualization.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. IntersectPath(Plane, Cone) → a
  2. Intersect(xAxis, zAxis) → A
  3. Cone(B, A, Distance[A, B]) → b, c, d
  4. IntersectPath(Plane, e) → f
  5. Mirror(d, z = 0) → d'
