In the cross-section, say in the x z plane, the composite appears as a triangle superimposed on a circle, as shown below.
Let θ 0 be the semi-vertical angle of the cone, then
θ 0 = tan − 1 2 2 1
The equation of its slant edge is z = 2 0 − ( cot θ 0 ) x
while the parametric equation of the circle is ( x , z ) = ( 6 sin θ , 0 , 1 0 + 6 cos θ )
Plugging in the second equation into the first, we can find the angles θ where the surface of the sphere intersects the surface of the cone. And this turns out to be at θ 1 = 0 . 2 4 9 1 9 4 and at θ 2 = 2 . 2 1 2 7 2 .
Now, the area of the surface of the sphere that is outside the cone is given by
A s = 2 π R 2 ( cos θ 1 − cos θ 2 )
where R = 6 is the radius of the sphere. The area of the cone that lies inside the sphere is given by
A c = π ( r 2 s 2 − r 1 s 1 ) = π R 2 ( sin 2 θ 2 − sin 2 θ 1 ) ( sin θ 0 1 )
Taking as our pivot point the center of the sphere, the required volume can be written as
V = 3 1 ( R A s − d A c )
where d is the (constant) perpendicular distance from the center of the sphere to the surface of the cone. It is given by
d = 1 0 sin θ 0
Evaluating the above, we obtain V = 4 9 0 . 3 6 6 3 . . . ; therefore the answer is ⌊ 1 0 0 0 V ⌋ = 4 9 0 3 6 6 .
