  2. 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 ...

  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. 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.

  5. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    Diagram showing a section through the centre of a cone (1) subtending a solid angle of 1 steradian in a sphere of radius r, along with the spherical "cap" (2). The external surface area A of the cap equals r2 only if solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Hence, in this figure θ = A/2 and r = 1.

  6. 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

  7. Cone (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_(topology)

    The cone over two points {0, 1} is a "V" shape with endpoints at {0} and {1}. The cone over a closed interval I of the real line is a filled-in triangle (with one of the edges being I), otherwise known as a 2-simplex (see the final example). The cone over a polygon P is a pyramid with base P. The cone over a disk is the solid cone of classical ...

  8. Spherical sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_sector

    In geometry, a spherical sector, [1] also known as a spherical cone, [2] is a portion of a sphere or of a ball defined by a conical boundary with apex at the center of the sphere. It can be described as the union of a spherical cap and the cone formed by the center of the sphere and the base of the cap.
