I'm guessing, but, no; you need calculus, simply because horizontal area varies as a function of height. Proving that an algebraic proof does not exist may be difficult.
The link provides a straightforward explanation of the calculation. A proof thereof would simply be some statements justifying why the measures are true.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
