Answer to each blank to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.
For every corresponding pair of cross sections, the area of the cross section of a sphere with radius r is equal to the area of the cross section of a cylinder with radius r and height ________ minus the volume of two cones, each with a radius and height of r. A cross section of the sphere is __________, and a cross section of the cylinder minus the cones, taken parallel to the base of cylinder, is __________.
The volume of the cylinder with radius r and height 2r is 2πr3
, and the volume of each cone with radius r and height r is _________ . So the volume of the cylinder minus the two cones is 43πr3 . Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is ___________ by Cavalieri's principle.
Go online to this page, which explains the derivation of the volume of the sphere very well:

What is your problem wertyusop?
Someone is kind enough to give you an answer, you give no written response but give them a thumbs down. That is plain rude!
If you do not like an answer then you politely state why. Then maybe you will get more help in a form that is useful to you.

Thanks you for you answer guest, it looked good to me.
I was wondering whether wertyusop wanted a calculus answer or some other answer... He/she did not specify.
