O Princípio de Cavalieri como método de demonstração e fundamentação para o cálculo de áreas e volumes

Abstract

It has been the Principle of Cavalieri , an effective axiom for demonstration areas calculation formulas and volumes , one math course content present throughout the Basic Education Brazil and always also found in external evaluations . The goal here is to show that the Cavalieri principle is very efficient and simple in the statement formulas areas of plane figures and volumes of solids , as this axiom simplifies the calculation of areas to measure segments and volumes in areas . Exposes the importance of such content in the basic training of students so that , we need to remedy the difficulties that they have , for about 30% of the race of Mathematics issues of external evidence is about geometry. Finally , we conclude that one should recognize the importance of this study for the construction of knowledge of the student and not try a ready-made thing , because only then it is more concrete learning.
