I understand what needs to be done, Mr K, but can't finish it.
Too many things I haven't seen before.
:mAOB = T
I understand "AOB", but what is T? degrees, like 75 degrees?
What does "m" mean?
:From that you can get the area of the base(A_1)
Why do I need to get the area?
:volume of small cone (V_1)=1/3*R*A
where does that come from? V = (pi r^2 h) / 3, is it not?
