y + r = 2 2 r + 9
2 y + 2 r = 2 r + 9
2 y = 9
y = 4 . 5
5 + x = y + r
5 + x = 4 . 5 + r
r = 0 . 5 + x ( 1 )
By pythagorean theorem, we have
r 2 = x 2 + y 2 ( 2 )
Substitute y = 4 . 5 and ( 1 ) in ( 2 ) , we have
( 0 . 5 + x ) 2 = x 2 + 4 . 5 2
0 . 2 5 + x + x 2 = x 2 + 2 0 . 2 5
x = 2 0
It follows that, r = 0 . 5 + 2 0 = 2 0 . 5
Then, R = O B = x + 5 = 2 5 .
The area of the shaded portion is A s = π ( R 2 − r 2 ) = 7 2 2 ( 2 5 2 − 2 0 . 5 2 ) = 6 4 3 . 5 .
Therefore, the volume is 6 4 3 . 5 ( 8 ) = 5 1 4 8
