The Method of Mechanical Theorems convenient to use a little bit of coordinate geometry. If a sphere of radius 1 is placed with its center at "x" = 1, the vertical cross sectional radius formula_2 at any "x" between 0 and 2 is given by the following formula: The mass of this cross section, for purposes of balancing on a lever, is proportional to the area: Archimedes then considered rotating the triangular region between "y" = 0 and "y" = "x" and "x" = "2" on the "x"-"y" plane around the "x"-axis, to form a cone. The cross section of this cone is a circle
