2 GCSE maths questions

Hi guys,

I've come across two GCSE maths questions which I really need help on. So if any of you guys can solve them, please help.

1. Emma is making party hats out of thin card. She starts with a circle of radius 10 cm and removes a sector AOB of angle 72 degrees and thros it away. Using the major sector, she joins OA and OB (without overlap) to make a cone. Find the volume of the cone in terms of pi.

2. Water is poured into a bowl of radius 30 cm to a depth of 12 cm. Calculate the radius of the surface of the water.

If you post what you've done so far, we can take a look at it. :smile:

But seriously, this is all about drawing a nice big diagram and labelling lengths, angles etc.
