Plane Intersecting a Cone: Geometric Construction of Conic Sections

2020-03-27 10:15
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the classic geometric construction of conic sections by intersecting a plane with a double cone. Using commands such as Cone, Plane, IntersectPath, Rotate, and Translate, the applet constructs upper and lower cones and a dynamically adjustable cutting plane. Users can manipulate sliders to change the plane's tilt angle and position, observing in real time how the
