Fermat's volume calculation (1636) Let R be the region bounded by the curve y = Vx + a (with a 7 0), the y-axis, and the x-axis. Let S be the solid generated by rotating R about the y-axis. Let T be the inscribed cone that has the same circular base as S and height Va. Show that: volume 152 volume 172
