I know he had this ratio:
But how did he get this:
?

The result uses a formula for the sum of squares.erocored said:
Cavalieri's formula states that the area under a parabola can be found by taking the integral of the function and multiplying it by 2/3.
Cavalieri derived his formula by using a method called "indivisibles," which involves dividing the area under a curve into an infinite number of infinitely thin rectangles and then adding them together.
Yes, Cavalieri's formula is accurate for all parabolas, as long as the function is continuous and the limits of integration are finite.
Yes, Cavalieri's formula can also be applied to other shapes, such as circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas, as long as the function is continuous and the limits of integration are finite.
The main limitation of Cavalieri's formula is that it can only be applied to functions that are continuous and have finite limits of integration. Additionally, it may be more difficult to apply to more complex shapes or functions with multiple variables.
