Volume - Intro

In mathematics, the volume of a solid object is the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by the boundaries of the object. The volume of a solid of revolution (such as a sphere or cylinder) is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the solid.

Video Transcript

Okay. The first thing we know is that if science ada is h over A than H is a sign data telling us that B is to a co signed data. Remember, area is 1/2 be a trait for a triangle. So 1/2 a sign beta times to a co signed data which gives us 1/2 a squared signed to theta. Okay, we know that sign to theta is one. Therefore, the data is pi over four. Because this is true. When two pies pie over to therefore dividing it again, we have pi over four is data and remember be is to a co sign day Asako san power for would be squared of two over too, giving us be a squirt of two, okay?
