A right cylinder has height h and radius r. It is sliced by a plane that is tangent to one circular base at A and intersects the other at diameter BC. What is the volume of slice ABCD?

Note that BO=CO=DO=r, AD=h, BC is perpendicular to DO, and AD is perpendicular to DO.

(In reply to Beg to differ by goFish)

goFish, D is the point directly perpendicular to A. BC is the diameter of the oposite base. Then BCD is a semicircle.
