Surface of the Gabriel's horn with cilinder or with cone's section

75 Views Asked by At

So, I am sure y'all familiar with Gabriel's horn, and when I looked up for the surface of it, the integral is based of a section of a cone but not a cylinder, even though a cylinder was used for the volume.

Moreover, by using a cylinder, the fact that the surface is infinite does not change.

Then why is a section of cone used for the surface and not the volume, and why a cylinder is used for the volume and not for the surface in order to calculate the surface and volume of Gabriel's horn ?
