I don't know why it would matter, unless they were taught something wrong. I also don't see anything tricky about the question. They are given a figure, which consists of a semicircle, a line, and an area, and they need to answer the question about the semicircle.

This is one unknown, and you get one equation. Then solve the equation.

Do you need the integrals? The volume of the cone between the two cuts plus the volumes of the two domes equal 2/3 pi r^3. The formulas for all these volumes are known.

Calculate them separately, e.g., The spherical dome: Surface area and volume

I don't think the remaining part of the sphere matters at all. You need to express the volume of the part cut out by the cone and make it equal 2/3 pi r^3.

Being misled by a visual is not a necessary condition for answering the question wrong, evidently. For an experiment, I gave the question, with no diagram, to AI: How many corners does a semi-circle have? AI has picked this answer: A semicircle is a two-dimensional shape that represents half of a circle. It is formed by cutting a whole circle along its diameter. When considering the number of corners (or vertices) a shape has, we typically look for points where two straight edges meet. A full circle has no straight edges and thus no corners. However, a semicircle includes the diameter as a straight edge. Here's the breakdown: The curved part of the semicircle is smooth and has no corners. The straight edge (the diameter) connects two endpoints. Therefore, a semicircle has two corners, which are the two endpoints of the diameter. These points are where the straight edge meets the curved edge, forming vertices.

It was bad last time, I remember. They were detaining people in airports for idiotic reasons. I have canceled then my trip to the US with my wife, and lost hundreds of $$, because my passport says that I was born in Azerbaijan, which certainly sounds like a Muslim country.

But the question was about "a semi-circle." It's a math question. It is rather a student who "seems to miss that what is actually pictured is a partial disk and not a semicircle."

Because of the verbiage like this ^^^^, I think that by "abiogenesis" he means "spontaneous generation". Which it is not for a long time by now.

No, such definition is not necessary.

No, it is not. It is a dimensionless number. To help me understand this question, please answer this one: number 3, is this a "mathematical" construction, or does it have a physical meaning.

Re 'math for masses'... What do you think about this elementary math question: (Student's answer to math question sparks discussion after teacher marks it as incorrect - Scoop Upworthy)

OK. Good luck!

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it cannot be shared. So, what is the purpose of this app?

It is rather a lousy way to sneak in the link at the very end of the 'essay':

Quantum entanglement does not involve information transfer in any way.

Isn't your model similar to one discussed here:

In your model, is the universe homogeneous and isotropic on a scale 100+ Mpc?

Is metric you use different from FLRW?

So, it is space expansion. Why do you call it spacetime expansion? What is 'fabric of the universe'?

Depends. What is 'spacetime expansion'?

I maintain that this is preaching, which is against the rules.

No, we do not. We rather continue modifying our concepts and models and inventing new ones striving to make them fit signals we get from nature. One can call the latter, 'understanding' if one wishes so.

Solved. The leak found and fixed. Thank you to all for participation. If you wonder how I have found the leak, the hint is here:
