Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m

x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24

Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30

Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900

1/8 inch thick
inner diameter of 8.5

volume shell=volume total-volume shell


1/8=0.125

diameter/2=radius
radius inner=8.5/2=4.25
radiustotal=inner+outer=4.25+0.125=4.375


so

Vouter-Vinner=(4/3)pi4.375³-(4/3)pi4.25³
Vshell=(4/3)(pi)(4.375³-4.25)
