Answer:
Cavalier's principle can be used to find the volume of any solid.
Explanation:
Cavalier's Principle:
- Cavalier introduced parallel planes and area to describe the relationship between solids.
- Cavalier stated if two solids have the same height and equal areas of the base everywhere along the height then the solids have the same volume.
- Suppose two regions are included between two parallel planes.
- If every plane parallel to these two planes intersects both regions in cross-sections of equal area, then the two regions have equal volumes.
- The formula for the volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height.
