Find the volume of the spherical sector whose base has an altitude of 6 cm drawn on a sphere whose radius is 18 cm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Volume of the spherical sector is equal to V = ,

where R is the sphere radius, and h is the sector's "height".


See http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/formulas/faq.sphere.html.


In terms of given data, h =  =  =  = .


Having this, you can complete calculations and solve your problem.
