The solid is a wedge, cut from a perfectly round tree of radius r by two planes, one perpendicular to the axis of the
tree and the other intersecting the first plane at an angle of 30° along a diameter. (See Fig. 22-13.)

By symmetry, we can compute the volume for x > 0 and
then double the result. The cross-section formula yields the volume
