  2. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A cone with a region including its apex cut off by a plane is called a truncated cone; if the truncation plane is parallel to the cone's base, it is called a frustum. [1] An elliptical cone is a cone with an elliptical base. [ 1 ]

  3. Hypercone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercone

    This volume is given by the formula ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ π r 4, and is the 4-dimensional equivalent of the solid cone. The ball may be thought of as the 'lid' at the base of the 4-dimensional cone's nappe, and the origin becomes its 'apex'.

  4. The Method of Mechanical Theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Method_of_Mechanical...

    The condition of balance ensures that the volume of the cone plus the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is the cross section area, times the height, which is 2, or . Archimedes could also find the volume of the cone using the mechanical method, since, in modern terms, the integral involved ...

    visual proof cone volume: Image title: Proof without words that the volume of a cone is a third of a cylinder of equal diameter and height by CMG Lee. 1. A cone and a cylinder have radius r and height h. 2. Their volume ratio is maintained when the height is scaled to h' = r √Π. 3. The cone is decomposed into thin slices. 4.

    Volume is a measure of regions in three-dimensional space. [1] ... Proof without words that the volume of a cone is a third of a cylinder of equal diameter and height ...

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    The disk-shaped cross-sectional area of the sphere is equal to the ring-shaped cross-sectional area of the cylinder part that lies outside the cone. If one knows that the volume of a cone is (), then one can use Cavalieri's principle to derive the fact that the volume of a sphere is , where is the radius.

  8. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.

  9. On Conoids and Spheroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Conoids_and_Spheroids

    The principal result of the work is comparing the volume of any segment cut off by a plane with the volume of a cone with equal base and axis. [ 2 ] The work is addressed to Dositheus of Pelusium.
