Volume of a Cone as the Limit of Cylinders
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example derives the volume of a cone by considering it as the limit of a series of cylinders. Key mathematical concepts include cones, cylinders, volume, and limits. The Sequence command is used to construct a series of cylinders, and the height and radius are adjusted to approximate the cone.
