There are various ways to calculate the volume of a cone. The one that I am trying is by evaluating the following integral $$textV = int_x^2+y^2 le a^2 int_0^fracha sqrta^2-x^2-y^2 1 dz dK = frac23 pi a^2 h$$ which is twice as the expected one! Where do I do wrong?
PS I got $z$ by using some trigonometric; as $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2.$ I guess that here $z$ is not like a 'normal' function of $(x,y)$ different from types like infinite paraboloid but even if so I don't know how it is related.

Hint: Your dealing with the equation $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong, try with
$$left(1-dfraczhright)^2 = dfracx^2+y^2a^2.$$
I tried with $left(1-dfraczhright)^2 = dfracx^2+y^2a^2$ and it gives $1/3$. But how $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong?! Same triangle same theorem..

Let $x=0$ in your equation, then you have a circle (ellipse) equation not a line
– user 108128
Aug 2 at 18:48
Yes again you are right! But I don't understand how $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ gives a wrong result (i.e. circle) when limited to $x=0$ though it comes from the same trigonometric theorem!
– Edi
Aug 2 at 18:52
Sorry I didn't mean that. Of course it must be a line when limited to any line on plane through the origin; my question is that $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ must also give a line when the same limit applies but it fails and why? $z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ has come from same rule as $(1-dfraczh)^2 = (x^2+y^2)/a^2.$ but it fails when testing a 'boundary' evaluation..

That region over which you are integrating is no cone at all. It's the top half of an ellipsoid.
You will get the value that you're after computing the integral$$int_-a^aint_-sqrta^2-x^2^sqrta^2-x^2int_frac hasqrtx^2+y^2^h1,mathrm dz,mathrm dy,mathrm dx.$$Here, my cone is$$left(x,y,z)inmathbbR^3,middle.$$
$z^2/h^2 = (a^2-x^2-y^2)/a^2$ and $(1-z/h)^2 = (x^2+y^2)/a^2$ comes from the same theorem of trigonometric on the same object, but I don't understand why the latter gives an ellipsoid; both equations are also squared both use same $z$..

$$fracz^2h^2=fraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2iff a^2z^2=(ah)^2-h^2x^2-h^2y^2iff h^2x^2+h^2y^2+a^2z^2=(ah)^2.$$Is this an ellipsoid or not?

Of course it is but I derived it from a triangle as an intersection a plane through z-axis and the cone. So how it comes an ellipsoid?!

We need 3 constants $ (a,h,z_1):$
Equation of right circular cone with $z_1$ apex shift
$$fracrz-z_1=fracah$$ or squaring,
$$ r^2=x^2+y^2= (z-z_1)^2(a/h)^2.$$

Because $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong. The correct one is $dfraczh = dfraca-sqrtx^2-y^2a$ which gives the correct answer $1/3 pi a^2 h$.

We need 3 constants $ (a,h,z_1):$
Equation of right circular cone with $z_1$ apex shift
$$fracrz-z_1=fracah$$ or squaring,
$$ r^2=x^2+y^2= (z-z_1)^2(a/h)^2.$$

Because $dfracz^2h^2 = dfraca^2-x^2-y^2a^2$ is wrong. The correct one is $dfraczh = dfraca-sqrtx^2-y^2a$ which gives the correct answer $1/3 pi a^2 h$.
