What Cavalieri's Principle Does NOT Say
Cavalieri's principle says that if these things are true...

The figures have the same height.

The cross-sections of the figures at every height have the same area.

     
then the figures have the same volume.


It does NOT say that if two figures have the same volume, then these things are true:

The figures have the same height.

The cross-sections of the figures at every height have the same area.



Cavalieri's principle does not necessarily apply to all figures, even if the figures have the same volume.


Prove it!

   
Draw and mark the measurements of two figures that have the same volume, but do not have one or both of the following:
  • same height
           
  • same cross-sectional area at every height
