The second triangle is a scaled up version of this, scaled so that it just barely reaches the cylinder, meaning its long side now has a length r. So the ratio of their bases, which is how much our rectangle's width gets stretched out, is r divided by d. What about the height? How precisely does that get scaled down as we project?

the original. This would not at all be true in general, but by a lovely coincidence, the way I'm parametrizing the sphere results in rectangles where the ratio of the width to the height starts out as d to r. So, for this very specific case, rescaling the width by r over d and rescaling the height by d over r actually does have the effect of a 90 degree rotation. And this lends itself to a rather bizarre way to animate the relation."}, {"chunks": [{"end": 540.4, "start": 540.0, "text": "Where"}, {"end": 540.64, "start": 540.4, "text": "instead"}, {"end": 540.96, "start": 540.64, "text": "of"}, {"end": 541.64, "start": 540.96, "text": "projecting"}, {"end": 541.84, "start": 541.64, "text": "each"}, {"end": 542.36, "start": 541.84, "text": "rectangular"}, {"end": 542.88, "start": 542.36, "text": "piece"}, {"end": 543.12, "start": 542.88, "text": "as"}, {"end": 543.16, "start": 543.12, "text": "if"}, {"end": 543.6, "start": 543.16, "text": "casting"}, {"end": 543.68, "start": 543.6, "text": "a"}, {"end": 544.6, "start": 543.68, "text": "shadow,"}, {"end": 544.68, "start": 544.6, "text": "you"}, {"end": 545.24, "start": 544.68, "text": "can"}, {"end": 545.64, "start": 545.24, "text": "rotate"}, {"end": 545.84, "start": 545.64, "text": "each"}, {"end": 545.96, "start": 545.84, "text": "one"}, {"end": 546.08, "start": 545.96, "text": "of"}, {"end": 546.32, "start": 546.08, "text": "them"}, {"end": 546.72, "start": 546.32, "text": "90"}, {"end": 547.16, "start": 546.72, "text": "degrees"}, {"end": 547.36, "start": 547.16, "text": "and"}, {"end": 547.64, "start": 547.36, "text": "then"}, {"end": 548.08, "start": 547.64, "text": "rearrange"}, {"end": 548.24, "start": 548.08, "text": "them"}, {"end": 548.4, "start": 548.24, "text": "all"}, {"end": 548.48, "start": 548.4, "text": "to"}, {"end": 548.68, "start": 548.48, "text": "make"}, {"end": 548.8, "start": 548.68, "text": "the"}, {"end": 556.32, "start": 548.8, "text": "cylinder."}, {"end": 556.88, "start": 556.32, "text": "Now,"}, {"end": 557.0, "start": 556.88, "text": "if"}, {"end": 557.24, "start": 557.0, "text": "you're"}, {"end": 557.52, "start": 557.24, "text": "really"}, {"end": 557.68, "start": 557.52, "text": "thinking"}, {"end": 558.16, "start": 557.68, "text": "critically,"}, {"end": 558.8, "start": 558.16, "text": "you"}, {"end": 559.08, "start": 558.8, "text": "might"}, {"end": 559.48, "start": 559.08, "text": "still"}, {"end": 559.48, "start": 559.48, "text": "not"}, {"end": 559.6, "start": 559.48, "text": "be"}, {"end": 560.2, "start": 559.6, "text": "satisfied"}, {"end": 560.2, "start": 560.2, "text": "that"}, {"end": 560.44, "start": 560.2, "text": "this"}, {"end": 560.8, "start": 560.44, "text": "shows"}, {"end": 561.0, "start": 560.8, "text": "us"}, {"end": 561.08, "start": 561.0, "text": "what"}, {"end": 561.16, "start": 561.08, "text": "the"}, {"end": 561.8, "start": 561.16, "text": "surface"}, {"end": 561.96, "start": 561.8, "text": "area"}, {"end": 561.96, "start": 561.96, "text": "of"}, {"end": 562.08, "start": 561.96, "text": "the"}, {"end": 562.52, "start": 562.08, "text": "sphere"}, {"end": 563.16, "start": 562.52, "text": "is,"}, {"end": 563.64, "start": 563.16, "text": "because"}, {"end": 563.88, "start": 563.64, "text": "all"}, {"end": 563.88, "start": 563.88, "text": "of"}, {"end": 563.88, "start": 563.88, "text": "these"}, {"end": 564.28, "start": 563.88, "text": "little"}, {"end": 565.0, "start": 564.28, "text": "rectangles"}, {"end": 565.4, "start": 565.0, "text": "only"}, {"end": 566.2, "start": 565.4, "text": "approximate"}, {"end": 566.48, "start": 566.2, "text": "the"}, {"end": 566.6, "start": 566.48, "text": "relevant"}, {"end": 567.88, "start": 566.6, "text": "areas."}, {"end": 568.12, "start": 567.88, "text": "Well,"}, {"end": 568.56, "start": 568.12, "text": "the"}, {"end": 568.88, "start": 568.56, "text": "idea"}, {"end": 569.2, "start": 568.88, "text": "is"}, {"end": 569.2, "start": 569.2, "text": "that"}, {"end": 569.68, "start": 569.2, "text": "this"}, {"end": 569.96, "start": 569.68, "text": "approximates"}], "text": " Where instead of projecting each rectangular piece as if casting a shadow, you can rotate each one of them 90 degrees and then rearrange them all to make the cylinder.

This kind of reasoning is essentially calculus, just without any of the jargon. In fact, I think neat geometric arguments like this, which require no background in calculus to understand, can serve as a great way to tee things up for new calculus students so that they have the core ideas already in their head before seeing the definitions which make them precise, rather than going the other way around.
