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 re(2): Beg to differ by goFish)

"I considered the semi-circle but then do we not just have a pyramid with a semi-circular base. (Half of a cone)."

I donīt think so.
