Question 333265: Which of the following defines what a circle is?
1. a curve made by intersecting a cone with a plan
2. a curve made when the plan intersects the cone parallel with its base
3. a curve made when the plane intersects the cone parallel with its side
4. a curve made when the plane intersects the cone at some non-specific angle Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's #2
Actually, it's the intersection of a plane normal to the axis of the cone, since the base is not defined.
--------------------
A better definition is the locus of points equidistant from a given point.
