Source sentences:
text: When the spheroid in question is prolate, the spheroid is produced by the rotation of an ellipse about it's major axis, hence the volume formula becomes 4 3 π b 2 a {\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi b^{2}a} b represents the minor axis of the ellipse which, when rotated about its major axis, produces the prolate spheroid.
text: The volume V of a spheroid (regardless of whether the spheroid is oblate or prolate) is a function of the equatorial and polar radii (a and c).
text: If the axis of revolution be the major axis of the ellipse, the spheroid is “prolate”;
