Given information
A wedge is cut out of a circular cylinder of radius 4 by two planes.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
It is given that one plane is perpendicular to axis of cylinder and other intersects the first at an angle of along a diameter of the cylinder.
This leads to forming a cross section which is a triangle. It is perpendicular to x-axis and its distance from origin is .
Also, the base of solid mentioned is semi circle that has equation .
Since the radius of circular cylinder is , the value of lies between .
