Archimedes' Hat-Box Theorem
ArchimedesHatBox
Enclose a sphere in a cylinder and cut out a spherical segment by slicing twice perpendicularly to the cylinder's axis. Then the lateral surface area of the spherical segment S_1 is equal to the lateral surface area cut out of the cylinder S_2 by the same slicing planes, i.e.,
| S=S_1=S_2=2piRh, |
where R is the radius of the cylinder (and tangent sphere) and h is the height of the cylindrical (and spherical) segment.
