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.
Both ellipse and circle are closed two-dimensional figures, which are referred as conic sections. A conic section is formed when a right circular cone and a plane intersect. There are four conic sections: circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola. The conic section type depends on the angle between the plane and the axis of the cone.
