Why is the volume of a cone one third of the volume of a cylinder? (2010)
I'm going to say something that sounds silly to most people, but isn't it the same deeper reason why a triangle is half of the base times the height?<p>I don't give a rat's ass if there's a proof or not connecting the two. I'm not a mathematician, but it makes sense from a calculus perspective that the number of dimensions ends up as a divisor.
