Reading phrase by phrase and understanding:
\n" ); document.write( "\"The region bounded by the circle \"x%5E2%2By%5E2=a%5E2\" is the base of a solid.\"
\n" ); document.write( "The base of the solid is a circle on the x-y plane, with center at the origin, radius \"a\" , and diameter \"2a\" .
\n" ); document.write( "So, far we know that the area of that base is \"pi%2Aa%5E2\" .
\n" ); document.write( "\"Cross sections taken perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis are equilateral triangles.\"
\n" ); document.write( "The y-axis is the line \"x=0\" , and the cross sections mentioned are obtained cutting through the solid through planes \"x=b\" with values of \"b\" in (-a,a) .
\n" ); document.write( "Those cross sections have a base on the x-y plane, and they are equilateral triangles.
\n" ); document.write( "The largest such equilateral triangle has a base of length \"2a\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "extending between the points (0,-a), and (0,a), and a height of \"%28sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%2A%282a%29=a%2Asqrt%283%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "with a vertex at the point with coordinates \"x=y=0\" and \"z=a%2Asqrt%283%29\" , which is the apex of the solid.
\n" ); document.write( "Intuitively, we know the solid is a cone.
\n" ); document.write( "Hopefully we do not need to prove that through a lot of boring algebra and geometry work.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of that cone with base area \"pi%2Aa%5E2\" and height \"a%2Asqrt%283%29\" is \"%281%2F3%29%28pi%2Aa%5E2%29%28a%2Asqrt%283%29%29=highlight%28a%5E3%2Api%2Asqrt%283%29%2F3%29\"\r
