of radius r and angle T radians is r T .]

Figure 1 shows a sector AOB of T radians which is cut from a circular card of fixed radius a
metres with centre O. A cup in the shape of an inverted right circular cone with radius r and
height h is then formed by joining the two radii, OA and OB, of the sector together, without
overlap (as shown in Figure 2).
