Each diagram consists of overlapping circles whose radii increase by 1 from smaller to larger.

Match each picture (i.e. problem #) with the conic section figure’s definition below.

An ellipse is the set of all points (or locus) whose sum of distances from two points is constant.
A hyperbola is the locus of points whose difference from two other points is constant.
A parabola is the locus of all points equidistant from a point and a line.
What would the definition of the conic section for a circle be?
How could a ray be considered a conic section?
