cos2$\theta$ + $\frac{1}{8}$ = sin2$\theta$..........(i)
from trigometric ratios for an acute angle, where cos$\theta$ + sin2$\theta$ = 1 - cos$\theta$ ........(ii)
Substitute for equation (i) in (i) = cos2$\theta$ + $\frac{1}{8}$ = 1 - cos2$\theta$
= cos2$\theta$ + cos2$\theta$ = 1 - $\frac{1}{8}$

The volume of the solid = vol. of cone + vol. of hemisphere

volume of cone = $\frac{1}{2}{\pi }^{2}h$

= $\frac{1\pi }{3}\times (3{)}^{2}x6=18\pi c{m}^2$

vol. of hemisphere = $\frac{4\pi r^3}{6}=\frac{2\pi r^3}{3}$

= $\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (3{)}^3=18\pi c{m}^3$

vol. of solid = 18$\pi$ + 18$\pi$
