Ch 10: Conics

Here we are at the end of the road. Only one thing left to cover: CONICS.
What are conics? Conics are cross sections of a cone.
If you take a cone and slice it at different angles you will see the 4 different conic shapes: Parabalas
Circles
Elipses
Hyperbolas
You will complete a Webquest to explore and learn about conics.
Have fun as you explore the world of conics.
Here is the link to the webquest.
