Cavalieri's theorem

Japanese: カバリエリの定理 - カバリエリのていり(英語表記)Cavalieri’s principle
Cavalieri's theorem
When there are two figures, A and B , on a plane, and both figures are cut with a straight line in a certain direction, if the length of the cut edge of A is always k times the length of the cut edge of B , then the area of ​​A is k times the area of ​​B. Galileo's student B. Cavalieri used this fact to discuss the problem of finding the area of ​​various figures before the discovery of calculus, and this fact is called Cavalieri's Theorem (or Cavalieri's Principle). Using this, for example, from the fact that the area of ​​a circle x2 + y2 = a2 is π a2 , it can be deduced that the area of ​​an ellipse x2 / a2 + y2 / b2 = 1 is π ab .

Japanese:
平面上に二つの図形A,Bがあって,一定の方向の直線で両図形を切るとき,Aの切口の長さがつねにBの切口の長さのk倍であるならば,Aの面積はBの面積のk倍である。ガリレイの弟子B.カバリエリが,この事実を用いて種々の図形の面積を求める問題を論じたのは,微積分の発見される以前のことであって,この事実をカバリエリの定理(またはカバリエリの原理)という。このことを用いると,例えば,円x2y2a2の面積がπa2であることから,楕円x2/a2y2/b2=1の面積がπabであることが導かれる。
