Abstract

The paper intends to underline the property of the hyperboloid of revolution of one nappe to generate on its surface, when it is cut by a plane, the three known conics (ellipse, hyperbola and parabola).Cutting this surface by a plane, we find the equation of the section to be the general equation of a conic. Depending on the parameters of this equation, we can establish the nature of the conic. The paper intends to emphasize the property of similarity between the ruled hyperboloidal surfaces of revolution and the conic ones, regarding their capacity to “house” conics on their surfaces; it also points out the existence of an alternative for the Dandelin's theorem in the case of the hyperboloid.
