Bully For You (Posted on 2004-12-02)

Take a regular torus (doughnut) shaped object and cut a vertical slice through it at line A-A1(Fig1).

Now look at the cross section formed(Fig2). Is it possible to calculate the volume of the original Torus? Prove your results.

The required volume of the torus is: 25/(sin(180-2arctan(25/(6+sqrt(35)))))
