This example demonstrates the proof of the volume of a sphere. Key mathematical concepts include sphere, volume, and special points. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Circle, Sphere, etc., the calculation method of the sphere's volume is clearly shown. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
