Study Notes
Volume of a Cone: Formula Derivation
Introduction
The volume of a cone can be derived by integrating the area of circular cross-sections perpendicular to the height of the cone.
Derivation
- Consider a cone with radius
rand heighth. - Divide the cone into thin circular disks of thickness
dyand radiusx. - The volume of each disk is approximately
πx² dy. - The radius
xof each disk is proportional to the distanceyfrom the apex of the cone:x = (r/h) \* y. - Substitute the expression for
xinto the volume formula:π((r/h) \* y)² dy. - Integrate with respect to
yfrom0toh: ∫[0,h]π((r/h) \* y)² dy = (1/3)πr²h.
Formula
The volume of a cone is: V = (1/3)πr²h
where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
