--actually they are used in real life. parabolas are seen in "parabolic microphones" or satellites. and there are others for both ellipses and hyperbolas.

What are some real life examples of parabolas hyperbolas and ellipses?

some examples of a parabola are: bridges, McDonald's arches, skateboard ramps, satellite dish, smiles ... and some more


How are ellipses used in real life?

Parabolas are used in satalights and flash lights and archiceture and maths, whoever wrote eggs is very wrong parabolas ends never meet * * * * * All very true. The only problem is that a parabola is not an ellipse! One of the main uses for an ellipse is to describe planetary orbits.


How are parabolas used in real life?

Parabolas are used in real life in light reflectors on cars to create a concentrated beam of intense light. Braking distance and stopping distance are quadratic formulas so their graphs are parabolas. A ball in motion in space has a path of a parabola.

Planet's orbit :)


Where irrational numbers are used in daily life?

pi is an irrational number so most calculations involving circles, ellipses and other curves are likely to involve pi. All periodic motion, such as electromagnetic waves, sound, pendulums, etc are linked to pi.


How conic section relate to your real life?

I need hardly explain where you encounter circles.Ellipses are encountered when you cut a cylindrical object (e.g., a sausage) at an angle. Parabolas are the approximate paths taken by objects thrown into the air (when air resistance is insignificant). Hyperbolas: I may be wrong, but it would seem that these are less common in real life. ALL of the conic sections can be seen when you shine a flashlight onto a level floor (or some other plane), since the light cone is, precisely, a cone.


Why circles are important?

Well, in math you solve the perimeter of circles and such, and learn understanding of them to help you with circles in real life.
