  • Awesome man! exactly what i was searching for!!

    i'm making this for my maths model..

    only if i'd find these cylinder and sphere... i'd get A+ for sure..!

  • You can't Derive mathematical truths by experiment. You must use proof. Sigh.

  • very nice demonstration of the fact that the volume of a sphere is two thirds the volume of the cylinder with the same radius and a height equal to the diameter. not a derivation of the formula by mathematical standards, but perhaps by experiment.

  • What no formula come on!!!

  • That isn't a proof at all, to do this you need calculus, use integration, volumes of revolution to be more exact. Take the curve, y^2 + x^2 = r^2 rotate around either the x or y axis, using integration find the volume, and multiply your final result by 2...

  • (continued) Also, the volume of a cylinder is basically equal to the area of a circle at the base of the cylinder = (PI) r^2 , and then multiply this area by the height of all the unit volumes (ie where h=1) for each and every cylinder segments:

    Volume of cylinder = (PI) r^2 h

  • Very clever and entertaining, but I'm sure you are aware it's knowledge by induction.

  • @partonfilaton you only need a single integration ;).

  • how is that deriving the formula??

    im too confused i didnt get the double integration part... but that's probably because IT WASNT THERE

  • You can also derive the formula for the volume of a sphere of radius a using cylindrical coordinates by taking the triple integral of r and having the bounds of z, r, and theta be 0 to Sqrt(a^2-r^2), 0 to a, and 0 to 2Pi, and then multiple the final answer by 2.
