Two stacks of British coins with the same volume, illustrating Cavalieri's principle in three dimensions
Bonaventura Cavalieri, the mathematician the principle is named after.
The disk-shaped cross-section of the sphere has the same area as the ring-shaped cross-section of that part of the cylinder that lies outside the cone.
If a hole of height h is drilled straight through the center of a sphere, the volume of the remaining band does not depend on the size of the sphere. For a larger sphere, the band will be thinner but longer.

Today Cavalieri's principle is seen as an early step towards integral calculus, and while it is used in some forms, such as its generalization in Fubini's theorem, results using Cavalieri's principle can often be shown more directly via integration. In the other direction, Cavalieri's principle grew out of the ancient Greek method of exhaustion, which used limits but did not use infinitesimals.
