please help: find the volume of a slice of the cylindrical cake of height 2 and radius 5 between the planes teta=pi/6 and teta=pi/3

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's just have the top-view of this cake, shall we? |dw:1363000496904:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Just give me a go-signal if you want to proceed :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, lets do it...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Just so we're clear, what's the volume of this entire cake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the volum of the entire cake should be V=pi (R^2).h

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah, so what is it? You have a value for r and h, don't you? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but the problem is not to find the entire volum....it is the slice between pi/3 and pi/6.......

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah, as long as you have the volume, we can proceed. Knowing the volume of the entire cake will give you an intuitive idea on the answer... ;)

we have to use tripple integral.........I got 50pi/12....I don't knoe if this is right or not?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Triple Integrals? That sucks :D I was thinking, divide this plane, this is the pi/6 plane... |dw:1363006138632:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

And this is the pi/3 plane... |dw:1363006184021:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Now we need the volume of this slice.. |dw:1363006231376:dw|
