Tangencies of Line and Surfaces
A line is tangent to a surface, if the line touches the
surface only at a single point
Diameter is a chord
that passes through
the center
Secant is a line
passing through the
circle but not the
center
Many applications in
Engineering and sciences
1. Ellipse
2. Parabola
3. Hyperbola
Mathematically,
Parabola is defined as
a set of points in a
plane which are
equidistance from a
given fixed point,
called focus and a
fixed line, called
directix.
Parabola revolved about its axis generates a 3D ruled surface called a paraboloid
(Auditorium ceiling reduces reverberation)
Mathematically, Hyperbola
is defined as a set of
points in a plane whose
distances from two fixed
points called the foci, in
the plane have a constant
difference.
