Considering the sector of the circle:
let L be the radius of the sector of the circle and c be the arc length. Then
9 1 3 0 0 π = 3 6 0 1 3 0 π ( L 2 ) ⟹ L = 2 0
c = 3 6 0 1 3 0 ( 2 ) ( π ) ( 2 0 ) = 9 1 3 0 π
Considering the right circular cone:
The arc length of the sector is equal to the circumference of the base of the cone , so we have 9 1 3 0 π = 2 π r ⟹ r = 9 6 5
By the pythagorean theorem , we have h = 2 0 2 − ( 9 6 5 ) 2 = 8 1 2 8 1 7 5 = 9 3 5 2 3
Hence, the volume of the cone is,
V = 3 1 π r 2 h = 3 1 π ( 9 6 5 ) 2 ( 9 3 5 2 3 ) = 2 1 8 7 1 4 7 8 7 5 π 2 3
Finally,
a + b = 1 4 7 8 7 5 + 2 1 8 7 = 1 5 0 0 6 2
