In geometry, the foci (/ËfoÊsaÉª/ ; singular focus) are a pair of special points with reference to which any of a variety of curves is constructed. For example, foci can be used in defining conic sections, the four types of which are the circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. In addition, foci are used to define the Cassini oval and the Cartesian oval.
The circle is the simplest and best known conic section. As a conic section, the circle is the intersection of a plane perpendicular to the cone's axis. The geometric definition of a circle is the locus of all points a constant distance r {\displaystyle r} from a point ( h , k ) {\displaystyle (h,k)} and forming the circumference (C).
