Record 1 to 24 of 24

Clipart images of conic sections, or conics, creating parabolas. Conics are obtained by taking a cone, or conical surface, and intersecting it with a plane. Conic parabolas are retrieved by intersecting the cones with a plane that is parallel to the lines used to create the cone. In other words, the plane that cuts the conical surface is at the same angle as the lines that were used to make the cones, resulting in an unbounded (meaning not a closed shape)" curve that is a parabola.
