:write the equation of the conic section with the given properties: an ellipse with vertices (0,-5) and (0,5) and a minor axis of length 8.

A3-dimensional figure has a square base and 4 lateral faces that meet at a point. explain the difference between the cross sections when a slice is made perpendicular to the base through the vertex, and when a slice is made perpendicular to the base and not through the vertex
