Cavalieri’s Principle • Cavalieri’s Principle essentially states that if two prisms have the property that all corresponding cross sections have the same area, then those prisms have the same volume. The CDs stacks have the same Volume http://mrhonner.com/2011/04/06/cds-and-cavalieris-principle/
Cavalieri’s Principle Historical Note Bonventura Francesco Cavalieri (1598 – 1647) Cavalieri’s work with indivisibles was a precursor to the development of calculus. His method of indivisibles is what is now known as Cavalieri’s Principle.
Theorem Volume of a Prisms Volume equals Base Area times Height V=Bh Base Area = 3 times 4 = 12 V=12(12)=144cm3
Theorem Volume of a Cylinder Volume equals Base Area times Height V=Bh Let r= 3; h = 7
