Topic : Geometry <br> Can someone tell me what Conic sections is in 4-8 sentences ?
krok68 [10]

Conic section (or simply conic) is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse. The circle is a special case of the ellipse, previously called the fourth type. Planes that pass through the vertex of the cone will intersect the cone in a point, a line or a pair of intersecting lines, called degenerate conics.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

It is 2 hours, 22 minutes, 48 seconds.

The 2 is obviously 2 hours. For the minutes, .38 * 60 = 22.8, so the minutes is 22. 0.8 * 60 = 48. So 2 hours, 22 minutes and 48 seconds.
