  2. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    1. 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.

  3. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    A bi-conic nose cone shape is simply a cone with length L 1 stacked on top of a frustum of a cone (commonly known as a conical transition section shape) with length L 2, where the base of the upper cone is equal in radius R 1 to the top radius of the smaller frustum with base radius R 2. = +

  4. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    The intuitive argument is based upon summing the total sector volume from that of infinitesimal triangular pyramids. Utilizing the pyramid (or cone) volume formula of = ′, where is the infinitesimal area of each pyramidal base (located on the surface of the sphere) and ′ is the height of each pyramid from its base to its apex (at the center ...

  5. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    Proposition 11: The volume of a cone (or cylinder) of the same height is proportional to the area of the base. [6] Proposition 12: The volume of a cone (or cylinder) that is similar to another is proportional to the cube of the ratio of the diameters of the bases. [7] Proposition 18: The volume of a sphere is proportional to the cube of its ...

  7. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone truncated perpendicularly to its axis; [3] otherwise, it is an oblique frustum. In a truncated cone or truncated pyramid, the truncation plane is not necessarily

  8. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    Cone: Tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex: A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone Cylinder: Straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section A solid elliptic cylinder A right and an oblique circular cylinder Ellipsoid

  9. 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.
