4. In history04X.pdf the following result of Archimedes was mentioned: Suppose we are given a parabolic segment as in the picture below with an inscribed isosceles triangle as illustrated on the next page. Let P and C be the respective solids of revolution formed by rotating the parabolic segment and triangle about the x - axis. Then the volume of C is 2/3 the volume of P. Prove this result using integral calculus; you may assume the standard formula for the volume of a cone without proving it. [Hint: What are the coordinates of the point where the parabola and vertical line meet?]
