  2. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

    The ratio of the volume of a sphere to the volume of its circumscribed cylinder is 2:3, as was determined by Archimedes. The principal formulae derived in On the Sphere and Cylinder are those mentioned above: the surface area of the sphere, the volume of the contained ball, and surface area and volume of the cylinder.

    where V is the volume of a sphere and r is the radius. S A = 4 π r 2 {\displaystyle SA=4\pi r^{2}} where SA is the surface area of a sphere and r is the radius.

  4. Spherical measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_measure

    There is an isoperimetric inequality for the sphere with its usual metric and spherical measure (see Ledoux & Talagrand, chapter 1): . If A ⊆ S n−1 is any Borel set and B⊆ S n−1 is a ρ n-ball with the same σ n-measure as A, then, for any r > 0,

    The volume of a sphere with radius r is ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠ πr 3. The surface area of a sphere with radius r is 4πr 2. Some of the formulae above are special cases of the volume of the n-dimensional ball and the surface area of its boundary, the (n−1)-dimensional sphere, given below. Apart from circles, there are other curves of constant width.

  7. The Method of Mechanical Theorems - Wikipedia

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

    Subtracting the volume of the cone from the volume of the cylinder gives the volume of the sphere: V S = 4 π − 8 3 π = 4 3 π . {\displaystyle V_{S}=4\pi -{8 \over 3}\pi ={4 \over 3}\pi .} The dependence of the volume of the sphere on the radius is obvious from scaling, although that also was not trivial to make rigorous back then.

  8. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is not equal to 180°. A sphere is a curved surface, but locally the laws of the flat (planar) Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is only slightly more than 180 degrees. A sphere with a spherical triangle on it.

  9. Spherical trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry

    The cosine rule may be used to give the angles A, B, and C but, to avoid ambiguities, the half angle formulae are preferred. Case 2: two sides and an included angle given (SAS). The cosine rule gives a and then we are back to Case 1. Case 3: two sides and an opposite angle given (SSA). The sine rule gives C and then we have Case 7. There are ...
