Archimedes derived a formula for the area of a spherical cap.
so Archimedes says that the curved surface area of a spherical cap is equal to the area of a circle with radius equal to the distance between the vertex at the curved surface and the base of the spherical cap.
$A = \pi(h^2+a^2)$
I want to know how Archimedes derived this formula. I have searched on the net and only found solutions using integration. Is there a method to do this without using integration?
