I have a similar problem.
A "wedge" is cut from a cylinder by 2 planes.
The angle between the planes is 15 degrees and the intersection of the planes is a diameter of the cylinder.
The cylinder's diameter is 2 inches.
Find the volume of the wedge.

A "wedge" is cut from a cylinder by 2 planes.
The angle between the planes is 15 degrees and the intersection of the planes is a diameter of the cylinder.
The cylinder's diameter is 2 inches.
Find the volume of the wedge.
======================
Is one of the planes normal to the axis of the cylinder?
