Ellipse Study

thingiverse

The elliptical cutout is examined using math manipulatives, specifically at the intersection of a slanted plane with a cylinder. The planes considered are 30, 45, and 60 degrees. This tool complements the conic sections model for better understanding of defined shapes. It's particularly relevant in roof cutting situations, like when installing a chimney pipe.
