Question 1153862: A cylinder with r=1 is cut by 2 planes to form a "wedge."
One plane is normal to the axis of the cylinder, the other intersects a diameter of the cylinder and the normal plane at the diameter.
That is, the "width" of the wedge is 1 unit.
What is the volume of the wedge?

Your statement

    "That is, the "width" of the wedge is 1 unit"

contradicts to other description, that the radius of the cylinder is 1 unit.


We do not solve the "problems", where one part of the condition contradicts to other parts.
