No you didn't. In order to solve this, you need to know the trick .You can't intuitively come up with the idea that you can work with 3D objects in a 2D cartesian plane. Never .This formula wasn't derived originally from this method. So it's just a trick .People know that it works but probably don't know why it works.Or at least you had to have the knowledge of 'disc' method.

[@iconic410]

This is a really clean proof.

[@nekothecat]

You can also proof the general equation of pyramid (1/3)BH with calculus. Notice the cross section area from different heights are similar to its base, if you put the invert the pyramid (vertex at 0 and the base at H) the volume of the pyramid is ∫ B(h/H)^2 dh from 0 to H. It becomes (B/H^2) ∫ h^2 dh from 0 to H = (B/H^2) (1/3)(H^3) = (1/3)BH

[@papilgee4evaeva]

I was 🤯 when I figured out, years ago, that a cone was a pyramid with a circular base.

[@zanti4132]

Your formula makes no assumptions about the shape of the base, so you may as well generalize this further: Given you have a two-dimensional figure where the area is known. Now imagine you create a three-dimensional figure by carrying the edges of the 2-D figure to a point P not in the plane of the 2-D figure. For example, if the 2-D figure is a circle, you'll get a cone; if the 2-D figure is a hexagon, you'll get a hexagonal pyramid, etc. Then the area of the 3-D figure is going to equal Bh/3, where B is the area of the base and h is the perpendicular distance from the plane containing the 2-D figure to the point P. And now, what the heck, why stop at three dimensions? Given a 3-D object with a known volume which is turned into a 4-D figure by connecting it with a point P in the fourth dimension, then the 4D-volume of the 4-D figure is Vh/4, where V is the volume of the 3-D figure and h is the perpendicular distance from the space containing the 3-D figure to the point P in the fourth dimension. (I know we can't visualize this because we're stuck in three dimensions, but the math is valid, so the formula must be correct!) And, we can even generalize this for any n-dimensional figure turned into an (n+1)-dimensional figure by connecting it with a point P in the next dimension. The n-Dimensional volume will be Vb/n.

Once you understand the integral, you realize that any 3D shape which converges to a point at one end via a constant slope (straight lines) has a volume which is 1/3 of an equivalent prism extended from the base (i.e. doesn't converge).

I taught my kid the formula before he learned calculus. Essentially I told him that the volume is defined so that after cutting it to thin slices, if each slice has the same area for two objects, the two volumes are the same. Then I can teach him the formula by reducing the computation to that of a tetrahedron cut from a cylinder with a square base, which can be shown have volume being one third of the cylinder.

If the Volume of the Cone V = 1/3 Pi r(2)h,where h is the height of the Cone, and r is the radius of the Cone,therefore the Volume of the Cylinder whose height is h and radius r,would be Pi r(2)h.The remaining Volume of the Cylinder would be 2/3 Pi r(2)h by simple subtraction between Cylinder and Cone.

I think it's safe to say, seeing some of the ego-induced commentary on "rotational volume" assumptions and fortuitous problem solving gambits, etc: I always thought systematic analysis of "x" along the axis for the 3D or "x cubed" problem is precisely what calculus and its differential/integral theorem is all about. I see it. The proof is necessary, and so pedestrian. And I'm a philosopher with, um, a philosopher's more general "survey" interests. Helps me to philosophically reflect on why I have never particularly relished the company of disaffected amateurs in any capacity, or egotistical number-smiths, anyway.

If you use the Pythagorean theorem you get the length of the hypotenuse, which is NOT the y value.

[@predrop]

But why does (1/2rh) Multiplied by 2πr not work? Area of the triangle revolve around 1 circle, sounds right to me. Idk how to prove it wrong

[@solandri69]

When you rotate the triangle to sweep a circle, the outer edges of the triangle trace a larger circle than the inner, and thus account for a greater portion of the volume. Since the triangle is thinner at the outer edges, the smaller parts of the triangle contribute more to the swept volume. Meaning the volume is less than the 1/2 method you propose. If you do the integral, you realize the correct factor is 1/3.

[@josleurs4345]

yes , you can find without integration ... euclides book 12 proposition 10 ... based on props before ... anyway in order to understand it is a bit a reasoning alike integrals .... actualy it is based on the fact that you can split up piramide in two smaller piramides of the same shape and two prisms ... , that smaller piramides you can do the same tric .... finaly you get a sum of piramides and prisms ... the greeks say that you can split it up as far as you want and that the sum of the small priamides becomes neglectable ... the other sum is kind of infinite sum in the sence of 1/4 + (1/4)^2+ ( 1/4) ^3 ... which leads to 1/3 ... , anyway the greeks say it a bit different , just to avoid the infinite sum like this ...

[@josleurs4345]

a more intuitive approach is to construct a piramide of two piramides of the same shape and two prisms ... if you assume that the two little piramides have 1/8 of the volume of the big one ( since every distance is devided in two ) and the two litlle prisms have the 1/8 of the volume of the surounding prism of the big piramide then you can avoid infinite sum by putting it in an equation where snales bytes its tail .... like 1/8 P + 1/8 P + 1/8 Pr + 1/8 Pr = P and this leads to Pr/3 = P

[@josleurs4345]

the approach of euclides book 10 is more or less the following ...o first they proof that the volume of piramide is proportional to its base , and proportional to its height ( not explicitely but indirectely as prisms are also proportional to their base ) .... then they cut 3 piramides out of a prism and proof that these piramides have the same volume ... the most difficult proof where infinity is a bit avoided is the proof where it is stated that the volume of a piramide is proportional to its base ... once proved for piramides , the step to cones is a bit already a sum of very small piramides which in a way seems a bit calculus ...
