Ellipse and Hyperbola

© Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

Here are three points, the two foci of a conic section, and one end of the major axis. Move the red point to see ellipses and hyperbolas of different shapes.

Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella).

The above Java interactive demonstration was created with Cinderella (a geometry program).
