Answer:

I think is the same formula area .A triangle is half as big as the rectangle that surrounds it, which is why the area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the relation length* width. The area of a triangle is given by the relation (1/2)*base* height. Now we know that the two have the same area equal to 150 cm^2. Also, when placed on the same level the tip of the triangle touches the upper edge of the rectangle.

In cylindrical coordinates, the volume is given with

$\displaystyle\int_{\theta=-\pi/2}^{\theta=\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=9}\int_{z=0}^{z=r\cos\theta}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=-\pi/2}^{\theta=\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=9}r^2\cos\theta\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle\left(\int_{\theta=-\pi/2}^{\theta=\pi/2}\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)\left(\int_{r=0}^{r=9}r^2\,\mathrm dr\right)$
$=486$
