Proposition: Prop. 12.11: Volume of Cones or Cylinders of Same Height are in Same Ratio as Bases

Euclid's Formulation

Cones and cylinders having the same height are to one another as their bases. * Let there be cones and cylinders of the same height whose bases [are] the circles $ABCD$ and $EFGH$, axes $KL$ and $MN$, and diameters of the bases $AC$ and $EG$ (respectively). * I say that as circle $ABCD$ is to circle $EFGH$, so cone $AL$ (is) to cone $EN$.
