We construct two polygons in the plane of the base of the cone: a polygon P containing the base of the cone and a polygon P` contained in the base of the cone. We construct two pyramids with bases P and P` and a vertex at the apex of the cone. The first pyramid contains a cone, and the second pyramid is contained in a cone.
There are such polygons P and P`, the areas of which with an unlimited increase in the number of their sides n unlimitedly approach the area of the circle at the base of the cone. For such polygons, the volumes of the constructed pyramids unboundedly approach 1/3 SH, where S is the area of the base of the cone, and H is its height. According to the definition, it follows that the volume of the cone
The volume of the cone is equal to one third of the work area of the base to the height.
