Find the VOLUME!

[joker_927]

How do I find the volume of the container I attached? I realize it's easy to split it up into 4 parts and add eachs' volume. The part I can't find out is the cone-shaped piece. I don't know how to find the percentage of a full cone it is or if that is even the right way of doing it.

This thing isn't boxes and squares either, its circular. This is just a side-view.

Thanx!

break it up into triangles

Hmm from there you could do it with calculus to extrapolate it into 3d or something (cut it in half along the y axis, get the volume of it in 2d then use the circumfrence)

But not sure what kind of math you're trying to do
I'm guessing There is a MUCH easier way, but its all I can think of at the moment

Fun fun!

It's not for any class. It's late and I just couldn't figure it out.

It's actually for a water-cooling setup I am building. I have two resevior designes and wanted to know which had more volue.

"Its for a reservior!!??"

Oh wait, I just made any soul NOT want to solve this problem didn't I?

OMG! I am such and idiot! Since I have the 2 differnet parts in my hands, I can do something that brings me back to around 4th grade!

Fill the darn things with water!!! Whichever holds more WINS!!!

Wow, so easy now.
