    10: Substitute in t = 1 and t = 2.
    For example, t_0 = \sin ( \theta + 0) = \sin \theta
    With t = 1 and t = 2 you will get \sin ( \theta + k). For this think about the sin graph: if you start 180 degrees or 360 degrees later, what happens?

    11: Use the information that A = 200 and re-arrange the equation to get h = f(r) i.e. in terms of r and constants. Then substitute that in to your volume equation.

    number 10: replaced trheta with a cos i cant type one
    t1=sin(a+180)
    t2=sin(a+360)
    so what are these in terms of sin a?
    hint: think of the period and graph.

    number 11:
    start off by rearranging you A=200 to try and find some stuff about the volume.
    Now with the new formula you have differentiate twice, find the turning point at a maximum and theres your maximum voume if you sub this in
