What does CONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Relating to a cone, or having the shape of a cone, including the curves formed by slicing a cone, such as circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas.
In geometry, conic sections are the curves produced when a plane cuts through a cone at different angles, giving rise to the circle, the ellipse, the parabola and the hyperbola. Engineers and mathematicians use conic more broadly to describe any shape, surface or structure that tapers like a cone, from gears to nozzle designs. The adjective is closely tied to conic sections, a topic taught in most secondary school and early university mathematics courses.
