The Conicles Puzzle
Across
- 3. is the set of all points in the plane which are equidistant from a fixed-point F and a fixed line ℓ
- 5. it may be the highest or lowest point of a parabola
- 7. line segment joining the Endpoints (extremities) of a hyperbola
- 11. a line that goes through the vertex of the parabola, creating a mirror-like reflection of either side of the parabola
- 15. set of numbers that describe the position in a cartesian plane
- 17. also called coordinate geometry where algebraic variables are used to solve problems about geometry
- 18. it is formed by intersecting a cone with a plane that does not go through the vertex of a cone
- 19. a conic section formed by intersecting a right circular cone with a plane at an angle such that both halves of the cone are intersected
- 21. a straight line from the center of a circle to the circumference of a circle
- 22. the axis where the covertices of the ellipse lie
- 23. is the set of all points in the plane equidistant from a fixed/center point
- 24. One characteristic of the hyperbola's curves
Down
- 1. one of the important steps to transform a general form of a circle to its standard form

- 4. distant from the focus to vertex and vertex to directrix
- 6. the line segment joining the vertices of a hyperbola
- 8. the line which touches the curve of the hyperbola at infinity
- 9. two point lying on the minor axis of the ellipse equidistant from the center
- 10. a two-dimensional figure created by the intersection of a plane and a right circular cone
- 12. the axis where the vertices of the ellipse lie
- 13. the relation between the total distance from any point of an ellipse to its foci and the distance between vertex 1 to vertex 2

- 16. Equivalent to two radii
- 20. the rectangle whose vertices lie on the asymptotes of the hyperbola and whose sides contain the vertices of the hyperbola
