Question 324451: -What is the largest possible volume of a cone that lies entirely within a cylinder of volume 30mcubed?
-Ahmed is making his bed with a bed sheet measuring 250 cm by 200 cm. When he is done, he notices that exactly 5 cm of the bed sheet is tucked in under each of the four sides of the mattress. If the mattress is 20 cm thick, then what is the area of the top (the sleeping area) of the bed?

The volume of a cone is one-third the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height.
Subtract 
from each of the dimensions of the sheet. Multiply the two remaining dimensions.
