Before we explore conic section types in GeoGebra Augmented Reality, let's explore them first in GeoGebra 3D Graphing Calculator app!
1.
Note the equation of the plane is z = some constant. Change the equation of this pink plane to z = 2. Then change it to z = 1. Then change it to z = 4. How would you describe the intersection of this plane and cone?
2.
Change the equation of the plane to . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and cone now?
3.
Now change the equation of the plane to . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and cone now?
4.
Change the equation of the plane to . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and cone now?
