Geometry Difficulty 4.8 AIME Find the answer

Find the volume of the three-dimensional solid given by the inequality x2+y2+\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}+ z1|z| \leq 1.

A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.

Solution

2π/32 \pi / 3. The solid consists of two cones, one whose base is the circle x2+y2=1x^{2}+y^{2}=1 in the xyx y-plane and whose vertex is (0,0,1)(0,0,1), and the other with the same base but vertex (0,0,1)(0,0,-1). Each cone has a base area of π\pi and a height of 1, for a volume of π/3\pi / 3, so the answer is 2π/32 \pi / 3.
