  2. Spherical sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_sector

    If the radius of the sphere is denoted by r and the height of the cap by h, the volume of the spherical sector is =. This may also be written as V = 2 π r 3 3 ( 1 − cos ⁡ φ ) , {\displaystyle V={\frac {2\pi r^{3}}{3}}(1-\cos \varphi )\,,} where φ is half the cone angle, i.e., φ is the angle between the rim of the cap and the direction ...

  3. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    It is an affine image of the right-circular unit cone with equation + = . From the fact, that the affine image of a conic section is a conic section of the same type (ellipse, parabola,...), one gets: Any plane section of an elliptic cone is a conic section. Obviously, any right circular cone contains circles.

  4. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The value 75.4 = 24 π, where 24 π substitutes for factor of 12 π in the formula for a volume of frustum of a cone encompassing a full tree using one base circumference, converting it to a volume formula that uses a basal circumference that is the average of circumferences C 1 and C 2.

  6. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane.It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  7. Hypercone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercone

    This volume is given by the formula ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ π r 4, and is the 4-dimensional equivalent of the solid cone. The ball may be thought of as the 'lid' at the base of the 4-dimensional cone's nappe, and the origin becomes its 'apex'.

  8. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The Egyptians knew the correct formula for the volume of such a truncated square pyramid, but no proof of this equation is given in the Moscow papyrus. The volume of a conical or pyramidal frustum is the volume of the solid before slicing its "apex" off, minus the volume of this "apex":

  9. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic section, conic or a quadratic curve is a curve obtained from a cone's surface intersecting a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola , the parabola , and the ellipse ; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though it was sometimes called as a fourth type.
