Cone, Hemisphere, Cylinder Relationship

Volumes

The ratio of the volumes of Cone:Hemisphere:Cylinder is 1:2:3.

Make each with a radius of r and and height of r.  (The formulas work out nicely. This is left to the reader as a nice exercise 😉

Here’s a nice gif of the concept (click to see the animation):

Surface Area

Also on the same page is the

Archimedes’ Hat-Box Theorem: If we draw any two horizontal planes as shown below, then the portions of the sphere and the cylinder between the two planes have the same surface area.
