Geometry and Measures Cavalieri's Principle

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) Cavalieri’s Principle for Volume: If two solids have the same height and identical cross-sectional areas, they have the same volume, even if they look different.
(1:18) Simple Volume Calculation: Use Cavalieri’s principle to find the volume of an inclined shape by calculating its upright equivalent’s volume with formula $\text{base area} \times \text{height}$.
