  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The formula for the volume of a pyramidal square frustum was introduced by the ancient Egyptian mathematics in what is called the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, written in the 13th dynasty (c. 1850 BC): = (+ +), where a and b are the base and top side lengths, and h is the height.

  3. Square pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid

    In general, the volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third of the area of its base multiplied by its height. [8] Expressed in a formula for a square pyramid, this is: [9] =. Many mathematicians have discovered the formula for calculating the volume of a square pyramid in ancient times.

  4. Moscow Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Mathematical_Papyrus

    The fourteenth problem of the Moscow Mathematical calculates the volume of a frustum. Problem 14 states that a pyramid has been truncated in such a way that the top area is a square of length 2 units, the bottom a square of length 4 units, and the height 6 units, as shown. The volume is found to be 56 cubic units, which is correct. [1]

  5. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry)

    The volume of a pyramid was recorded back in ancient Egypt, where they calculated the volume of a square frustum, suggesting they acquainted the volume of a square pyramid. [26] The formula of volume for a general pyramid was discovered by Indian mathematician Aryabhata, where he quoted in his Aryabhatiya that the volume of a pyramid is ...

  7. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    The volume ratio is maintained when the height is scaled to h' = r √ π. 3. Decompose it into thin slices. 4. Using Cavalieri's principle, reshape each slice into a square of the same area. 5. The pyramid is replicated twice. 6. Combining them into a cube shows that the volume ratio is 1:3.

  8. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    If the sides of the cube were multiplied by 2, its surface area would be multiplied by the square of 2 and become 24 m 2. Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1.

  9. Toroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroid

    The volume (V) and surface area (S) of a toroid are given by the following equations, where A is the area of the square section of side, and R is the radius of revolution. V = 2 π R A {\displaystyle V=2\pi RA}
