  2. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    For most values of p, the surface area () of an L p sphere of radius R (the boundary of an L p n-ball of radius R) cannot be calculated by differentiating the volume of an L p ball with respect to its radius. While the volume can be expressed as an integral over the surface areas using the coarea formula, the coarea formula contains a ...

    In terms of inclusions of balls, the k open unit balls centered at , …, are included in a ball of radius := + (), which is minimal for this configuration. To show that this configuration is optimal, let x 1 , … , x k {\displaystyle x_{1},\dots ,x_{k}} be the centers of k disjoint open unit balls contained in a ball of radius r centered at a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(mathematics)

    In Euclidean n-space, an (open) n-ball of radius r and center x is the set of all points of distance less than r from x. A closed n-ball of radius r is the set of all points of distance less than or equal to r away from x. In Euclidean n-space, every ball is bounded by a hypersphere.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_shell

    An approximation for the volume of a thin spherical shell is the surface area of the inner sphere multiplied by the thickness t of the shell: [2] V ≈ 4 π r 2 t , {\displaystyle V\approx 4\pi r^{2}t,}

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  9. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    A cone and a cylinder have radius r and height h. 2. 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.
